Volunteering in a Thai School
At ECC we pride ourselves on being a 100% volunteer run project. Without you, the volunteers, none of this would be possible.
As a new volunteer you will be paired with another volunteer with experience for classes and government text books will be provided for you to follow the countries curriculum along with flashcards and other pre-planned activities. Our previous volunteers have put a lot of thought into helping the next generation of volunteers easily integrate into our project so it doesn’t get overwhelming. We want your volunteer teaching experience to be a memory that will last a lifetime.
ECC (Education Centre for Community) is a non government organisation, located in a suburb of Sisaket, Thailand, created by Savon and Savuth in 2023. The main goal of ECC is to improve future prospects, enabling students to escape the vicious cycle of poverty that is so prevalent in Cambodia.
To achieve this, ECC offers free education to everyone, regardless of gender, age, race, religion or political tendency.
What Our Volunteers Say!
Teaching for ECC Thailand was so joyful. Living on a Thai Buddhist monastery leaves an impact. Talking with the elder monk, being surrounded by animals, peaceful vibes and all the other monks was such an experience. I meditated with them and did Thai boxing training. There were other moments where we were honored in the community for getting the school going. The students were rather disciplined for the schools we come by. They wanted to learn. You also can teach some child monks learning their discipline. The food is great, I loved immersing with the locals and was nicknamed by locals.
The volunteer experience at Wat Phrai Phatthana is very enriching for me. An experience where I got more than what I expected. I feel I have created a big difference in teaching English to the monks and the primary school students. The monks are very enthusiastic to learn and look up high on us to understand English . We as a teachers are flexible to teach the way we want and the topics we can. All that matters is the monks and students be able to communicate in English. ECC folks Savon is doing a great job in pulling volunteers together and providing education to all.
ECC is an officially registered NGO and was founded on the 10th of February 2014 at the Ministry of Interior, Cambodia and created ECC Thailand with an M.O.U and Wat Phrai Phrattana in July 2023.
