Host overview
The school first opened in Nong Khai in 2009. In the early days of the school, rooms were borrowed from a local monastery. Classrooms were dark, accommodations were crowded, and the cooking and bathing facilities were less than basic.
However, in May 2014 a brand new building opened in the center of the city and additional building will be completed over the coming years.

How we work
Until housing in completed on the campus, volunteers at this time receive free housing at a nearby extended-stay ho. This is literally across the road from the school and includes a bedroom, bathroom, and living room along with a small back patio.
Since meals are eaten with the students, this allows for more interactions with the students while using their new English skills. This will also help build their confidence. Volunteers are also expected to participate in special activities that occur throughout the term. These could include meeting with local dignitaries, having a meal with students at a restaurant, accepting a shipment of wheelchairs, attending a fair for people with disabilities in the community, watching a sporting event, or participating in a holiday. As a volunteer you will be an integral part of the school.
