Sawasdee, Thailand
At the heart of South-East Asia, Thailand is where the new meets old. Despite being known for its tropical beaches, royal palaces and ancient ruins, poverty is also prevalent where around 11% of the country still lives under the poverty line and AIESEC Thailand strives to bring Global talents to the community and help improve their lives.
ENGLISH TEACHING
Without the same accessibility as other countries may have to English This project works with Sustainable Development Goal #4: Quality Education. It aims to provide cross-cultural education and English education for the youth in rural areas of Thailand. Through teaching English for 7-15 year old students, participants will create a cross-cultural learning environment and build close relations with the schools and the communities.
