Rajapachanukroh 50 School is a school for disadvantaged and poor children in the countryside of Khon Kan, Thailand.

The school is under the Royal Foundation offers education, food and accommodation for the children who have no parents, the children from the poor family, and the children from the very remote area. They can come and stay at the school from the primary (7 years) to high school (18 years). They are staying at the school with the teacher, so we are offering them. It is not only education but is also life and opportunity.

In 2018, the project needs the volunteers, who are the most important of the part, to continue for developing the potential of education that the last volunteers did, to make children in school still get inspiration to speak English and to learn your own language. The volunteers can share more about the different culture.

Volunteers are expected to work as an English teacher in primary and high school. You can prepare the easy English lesson and useful conversation. Open mind and share a new experience with the students. Use your own experience for teaching and enjoying the game.

Volunteers will stay in the school accommodation. You have your own room (bedroom and bathroom) and have a meal at the school.

Volunteers should love to play with kids. Please bring some teaching materials such as a book, kids’ education game, stationary, etc. from your country. It will be a good way for cultural exchange and make students have more motivation. No smoking and alcohol drinking in the project.

Why it is necessary to pay a Participation Fee?
VSA is not financially supported by government to host projects related to IVS. Hence all projects are self-funded with a participation fee.

Being a non-profit organization, we emphasize on transparency, below is how we spend collected participation fee.

- Office running/admin expenses. (internet, photocopy, stationary, electricity, phone, salary, office equipment, tool and rental etc.)
- Supporting small community project.
- International travel costs to global conferences and membership fee for networking.

The participation fee will be divided as follows...
- 40% for Project running, preparing workcamp all workcamp and MLTV project cost

There are 2 ways to obtain visa if you are a Medium/Long Term Volunteer

1 - Apply for a tourist visa, mostly the volunteers get a visa to stay in Thailand for 2 months. After that, if the volunteers want to extend the visa, they can extend it at Royal Thai Consulate-General Penang, Malaysia (the easiest way), and the volunteers will get more 30 days include 1900 Baht for visa fee. Furthermore, if the volunteers want to extend the visa, but less than 30 days, they can apply for tourist visa at the immigration office.
2 - If you want to stay more than 2 months, apply for Non-Immigrant Visa “O-A” (Long Stay)

Please contact us immediately if the volunteers need confirmation letter after coordinate clearly with the sending organization. VSA Thailand can help the volunteers before they leave their country, but VSA Thailand cannot provide a visa upon arrival in Thailand. The volunteers need to make arrangement for a visa in their home country before departure date. The sending organization will usually help the volunteers along with the process.
If the volunteers have a tourist visa, do not go out of Thailand until your visa date expires because the tourist visa will finish automatically, and they have to ask for visa again at Thai Consulate abroad.
