Don't miss out on this opportunity!

It's a great experience for people keen to work or live abroad with a genuine interest to integrate into the local culture. I was on the Thailand program and despite not knowing the local customs or language, was encouraged to completely immerse myself. Teaching was an absolute joy, but I wish the TESOL training had been more substantial and more in advance of the actual lessons that I took. Accommodation could also have been better, as although my roommates were very nice, we were told that we would share our rooms with a maximum of 1 other person and I ended up with 4 others like a hostel!

However, for a fully funded experience, with cheap accommodation, travel and food, I would highly recommend this as an opportunity for personal growth, to meet new people and to learn about a completely different culture while giving back to the country by volunteering.
