My personal experience was amazing!

The program offers an opportunity that is very unique, I genuinely haven't seen something that matches up to it in terms of the value provided - yes it is really fully funded ! I was initially worried about doing a rural Thailand program as the lifestyle would be very much outside my comfort zone but luckily I was allocated to teach at the loveliest school and had an amazing host which massively determines your experience on the placement. Our host was so invested in our wellbeing and always took us out to explore during our placement. We were also able to travel around on the weekends and spend our free time as desired. The orientation week and end of trip program to Koh Samet island was so wholesome with the whole cohort!
The program has allowed me to experience my passion for travelling and working with children as a fusion and I’ve created beautiful memories. It has been very rewarding to do something impactful in a fun and enjoyable way with a great cohort! I took the risk and in my personal experience, it ended up being totally worth the adventure! Definitely one of the best things I’ve done!
Room for improvement: for placements to be more standardised in terms of accommodation, hosts and school placements so there won’t be significant disparities in participant experiences.
Also expect information and communication before the program to be somewhat limited as most of the specifics get confirmed and organised closer to the time.
