Volunteers. Baan Dada provides an ideal field for learning and exchange for volunteers. The basic atmosphere is a holistic lifestyle, with regular yoga and meditation practices (which you can join if you like), vegetarian meals and dedication to the service of others.

Volunteers are expected to help with the daily chores at the home. There are many children who haven't yet reached schooling age. Volunteers can help by organising activities for them. You can teach English, arts and crafts or any other skills you have. Volunteers can also help the younger children during meal time and with preparartion of the food.

There are always many other jobs to do from building, farming, tutoring, driving, administration work in the office, help with fundraising or helping to support the many community projects Baan Dada is involved with. The volunteers can also greatly contribute in their own ways and enhance the progress and development of projects. Volunteers are welcome throughout the year.

Baan Dada offers free board and asks for a small contribution of 200 baht per day (about 5 USD) for the supplied food, accommodation and extra wages for the Mothers. It is reccomended by doctors at the local hospital that you should use a anti-malarial phrophalactic - Doxycyclin is currently reccommended. Please consult your physician for up to date advice. Notice this drug is readily available here for a fraction of the price you may pay in your home country.

The volunteers will be communicating with a mentor at the project who will oversee the needs and work of the volunteer. If you are interested and able to volunteer time from your own country we have many things you may be able to help us with. Please contact us for details

The project is free of drugs, alcohol, and smoking.

Volunteers will be responsible for their own return ticket, own health insurance, if they so desire, and visa arrangements. They are expected to respect the local cultural norms and holistic lifestyle at the project.
