Leen Masster writes: "In the month of December, I worked as a volunteer in a secondary school in Ban Dung, in the Northeast of Thailand. After school I stayed with a host family, where I learned a lot about Thai culture. On Sunday December 26th, the host family took me to a small and very poor village in the mountains of Isan, where we visited the family of the two sisters, Nong and Puen, (13 and 18 years old), who live with my host family and work there as nannies.

Volunteer Stories! Jim Brown's Perspective on Temple Teaching |

Jim worked for weeks with the novices and monks at the temple in NongKhai. Below you will find his interpretation of his stay and volunteer experiences.
When I came across the name of a school at a Buddhist temple in the list of teaching opportunities from OpenMindProjects, I was fascinated. As a Westerner, I had preconceptions about temples and monks and novices that made them very exotic and maybe even mysterious. This was a chance to get inside to learn about Buddhism in ways not usually open to outsiders. I was delighted when my request was approved and I spent the next few months imagining what lay in store for me.

Recently a few OMP volunteers and staff participated in a Thai wedding. The groom, K, is one of our many ex-staff who worked well with our OMP volunteers. We wish the two newly weds 'Chock Dee' (Good Luck!) and 'Sanook' (Have Fun!)
The story that follows was written by one of our Dutch volunteers, Remke.

My name is Nikky and together with my friend Remke we have been working for 2 months at the pre-school in Thung Fon.
First of all... the children are very, very sweet!!! I absolutely love them and it's going to be hard to say goodbye to them one day. They always come to you and they want to play or just sit with you and have fun :)
