For many centuries, wats or Buddhist temples have served as educational institutions for young citizens of Thailand. All the temples receive donation which is used for the maintenance of temples and its surroundings. In addition to this, some temples support social welfare activities for the benefit of the local communities. One of these includes running a school within the temple complex. In collaboration with local Thailand partners, Rustic Travel Volunteers provide volunteers/travelers who have a passion for teaching but also is very interested in Thai society behind the walls of temple school. The volunteers working in temple schools get an opportunity to gain the experience in teaching and also understand Thai culture/Buddhist religion deeply rooted in Thai society.
All volunteer programs start on the second and fourth Monday of each month.
