TEACHING PROJECT
We develop this teaching project in very remote areas where the living standard is low but the traditions are rich, and where there are hard-working people who are very positive and have a firm belief in a good life. These places need our help to make improvement. At the moment, YESD is designing a program in Tha village to help build capacity for local people, especially the children who have difficulty accessing proper education, English language training, and life skills. This experience is valuable for each volunteer and their support could contribute to ensure sustainable development in the hill tribes. From our activities, students can broaden their knowledge and enhance their language ability through non-formal teaching method. Volunteers play an import role in our project, and the knowledge you transmit to local people could be the precious materials to fully develop their ideas for developing their hometown.
- English for kids: age from 6-13
- Adults and youth: Who are willing to be English tour guides and love to improve their English by interacting more with our native teachers. We have trained Thon Tha Agriculture and Responsible Tourism Cooperative since 2015, beginning with 12 members. Most of them are adults and farmers, had never touched English before. We are proud of them who tried their best to reach a better life by studying English. They are YESD local English guides, homestay hosts and driving tour guides now.
