Volunteer learning how to plant rice in Trang, Thailand.We’ve discovered that when you’re given the opportunity to learn about the local culture and customs, and understand community development, your volunteer experience is truly complete. To gain this inside perspective, we provide Cultural & Learning Activities. You’ll enjoy a detailed orientation, language training, field trips, guest speakers, participation in local activities, and feedback sessions. Together, these activities give you an inside perspective of the community and culture, within and beyond the context of your volunteer experience.
In Brazil, this may be a visit to African heritage sites or Portuguese lessons. In Thailand, activities may include a tour of the Grand Palace or a Thai cooking class.
