The Thai Child Development Foundation is located on a mountain in Bahn Paksong, municipality of Phato. It is a beautiful area, with lots of rain forest, and a river surrounding the premises.

The main income of the people in Bahn Paksong is farming (fruit), so you will also find a lot of plantations.

Location of projects

Most of the projects are done on the premises of the foundation or in the area of Phato and within 1 hour travel distance of the Thai Child Development Foundation.

For most of the projects the volunteers will stay at the volunteer-house: a house with a dormitory for volunteers to live. It is a shared dormitory (boys and girls) with 6 bunk beds, a bathroom, a kitchen, a dining area and an outside sitting area. It is not a big house and you should not expect a lot of privacy.

For 'The World I Live in', volunteers will live and stay for 3 days per week at the location where they will do their projects. A house near the school, in the home of a techer or student for example.
