Review

During the Fall Semester of 2012, I decided to sign up for a volunteer program at my school called Alternative Winter Break (AWB), which among many locations included Chiang Mai, Thailand. The Thailand AWB volunteer program has been one of the most amazing experience of my life. I had the opportunity to work with orphan kids to teach them English as well as build bathrooms and showers for them with the help of my colleagues and the local people running the orphanage.
People in Chiang Mai are very hospitable and friendly and Chiang Mai city is a very beautiful and serene place. My 2 weeks stay there was one of the memorable moments in my life. I went there to teach but I ended up learning so much about my self, Thai culture, and from working with others. I will never forget those amazing children at the orphanage and those kind and selfless individuals who work at the orphanage. Special thanks to the coordinators and personnel at Travel To Teach for guiding us through our journey. Thank you Thailand and Travel To Teach, I look forward to come back soon
