FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRLog (Press Release) –
Apr 25, 2008 – Global Service Corps (GSC) has announced an expansion in their popular volunteer abroad service learning and fellowship programs in Thailand to include volunteer vacation experiences. GSC Volunteer Vacations are designed for travelers who wish to participate in a cross-cultural learning experience and also do some volunteering during their vacation in Asia in a Thai elementary school or orphanage.
With over ten years of experience operating overseas volunteer programs in both Thailand and Tanzania for students, active retirees, mid-career professionals and families, GSC has successfully leveraged best practices in international volunteerism to launch their newest volunteer offering, GSC Volunteer Vacations. Beginning in Thailand in 2008, with subsequent expansion to additional Asian and African markets, GSC Volunteer Vacations are designed to be a more affordable and flexible volunteer abroad experience in comparison to GSC’s more intensive two week to six month long Service-Learning Programs. GSC Volunteer Vacations in Thailand will be offered year round beginning in June 2008 with weekly start dates and requiring stays of at least two weeks. Vacationers begin their Thailand Volunteer Vacation experience with a two night stay in Bangkok to get acclimated to the time change and climate, tour city sites, and get their first taste of authentic Thai cuisine. This is followed by a one-week cross-cultural orientation and learning experience which explores Thai history, culture religion, language and cuisine. Volunteer vacationers then have the option of teaching English in a local school and/or working at an orphanage for one or more weeks. Both Thai schools and orphanages offer volunteers the opportunity to provide much appreciated services to poor and rural children with no special advance training required. For vacationers signed up for three weeks or longer, there is also the option of a week for more-in depth study of Thai Buddhism and culture during the third week of the program including an overnight stay and additional day visits to local wats (monastery temples).
