Volunteer Vacation Testimonials

The work was not as meaningful as in years past, but we had record flooding and rain. It canceled several projects. Still, we worked hard enough each day and there is something new every time I visit. We had to survey flood damage one day because the rivers were overflowing. As we approached the area, I heard a rustle in the woods to my left. It turned out to be a small elephant! An unforgettable experience, steering an elephant in the wild.

I had lots of free time to spend with the kids, they are adorable. If you can speak English and give out lots of hugs, you will be. The coordinator and director are like family by now and there were multiple opportunities to interact with locals. I was the only non-Asian I saw for six days! This location also had some of the best accommodations in the Globe Aware system and I enjoyed the food, there was always enough!- Don Germaise September 2024 Thailand Hill Tribes

The mission and scope of work for the kids was very compelling. Every person we met was terrific, and we felt very well cared for. Our experience was amazing, and we loved our time and the connection with the people and this region of Thailand. We really felt a part of the community.- Tom Thorpe December 2022 Thailand Hill Tribes

This is quite simply Globe Aware’s best program for people who love kids. I spent my work time, working hard! But during our free time, the kids found us and we had so much fun playing! The work project was meaningful because we could see the benefit of our work almost immediately! Every project helped improve the infrastructure of the project site.- Don Germaise October 2022 Thailand Hill Tribes
