Become a Volunteer on Koh Phayam

Getting the small Moken kids home after school

Everyone loves to travel.  Why not combine travel with a memorable volunteer experience.  By becoming a volunteer, whether for a week or a month; will provide an insight into the culture and hearts of the people of Koh Phayam in the Ranong Province.  Our School is quite unique as we have Thai, Moken & Burmese children all learning together.  WE are currently teaching in the local school five days per week; grades 1 to 6 (age 6 to 14 years).

Kat & Jam; dedicated volunteers for 4 months

All for Villages does not charge you to volunteer, but  you will need to pay your way with food and accommodation.  During the low season (May to September) on Koh Phayam locals are very generous and will offer great accommodation at very discounted rates to volunteers !!!!

The children will delight you with their smiles and openness; their love for games and life will stay in your hearts forever.

Volunteer Teacher – English / Art / Life Skills

Grade 6 learning Macrame

English is the skill both children and adults need to provide better future employment opportunities and to help break the cycle of poverty.

You don’t need to be a professional teacher.  Just someone who enjoys the energy of children, patience for adult learners, has an open mind and good practical skills.

Our main aim is to teach conversation skills with the hope that reading and writing English will follow.

  • Teaching basic English conversation to adults within the community to support future employment in tourism; the fastest growing industry in and Ranong Province.
  • Teaching children aged 4 to 12 years through games and activities.
  • Supporting children and adults with art and craft activities and ideas in the Sea Gypsy Village on Koh Phayam.
  • Teaching life skills to those young adults who no longer attend school.

Our resident volunteer teacher and coordinator,  Fiona who has been working closely with the community since 2006 will assist you to get started.
