Poverty Reduction with Education Technology in Thailand and Laos

IT and Education Volunteer. EdTech Volunteer Opportunities in Asia

Fight poverty with education technology as our IT, edtech volunteer!

Poor village children go to poor schools and remain poor.
Poor villagers are unable to take advantage of online marketing opportunities. They are unable to access digital government information and benefits.
IT and Internet can help make up for poor schools but children and their parents must learn how! Help them as our Ed Tech volunteer!

Do you want to pass on your knowledge to village girls, boys, their parents, to help them learn to use IT, learn online, to help them leave poverty, train them to help friends and parents?

Our volunteers help girls and boys to use computers and internet our 'Learning by Doing Way'. With more resources, we can reach out to more people. We need volunteers and funds. We are planning to educate villagers, so they will not be left behind but be part of the digital community.

Are you IT clever? We welcome web developers, designers, volunteers with IT, Internet, Social Media skills.

Teaching IT, Online Learning with Openmind Projects in Asia

Do you want to volunteer to inspire and help girls and boys to use smartphones as learning tools? Do you want to help poor villagers into the digital world

Multi Learning by Doing.

English, IT, about the world, share and reflect in one activity!

Learning to search and learn online is sometimes the only, way to learn for isolated kids. Give them interesting, important topics to learn about, document, present, share (online) and discuss. IT volunteers teach IT to schoolchildren, trainees at our Training Center in Thailand and at our Camps.
We plan and fund raise to be able to launch a project training adult villagers.They are left behind and need to learn how to connect with authorities and learn to sell their local products online!

Help us! You can volunteer. You can donate!

Volunteer Abroad Reviews

As a small organisation, you truly feel that you are joining the team - whatever type of program you are on. You can see for yourself how highly valued your contributions are.

Anna, Volunteer from London

From day one I was given a fantastic amount of support and made to feel like part of the Openmind family. The main thing I'd recommend to anyone looking to come volunteer at a place like this is not to have too many set expectations and to never assume that everything runs to a strict plan all of the time. Take each day as it comes and learn to enjoy it even if it's not what you had originally planned. It all works out in the end!!

Daniel, Volunteer from Germany

Open Mind projects encourages the "learning by doing" teaching method which I found very beneficial for the students, as it helped them memorize things better! So, you have to be creative and come up with games to teach them things, which can mean as much fun for you as for them.

Irene, Volunteer from London

I'm now back at Openmind projects for the second time this year. I was here for a month in march/april and I loved it so much I came back again in june for another two months.

Malin, Volunteer from Sweden

We had a new experience in Ubon Ratchathani and Samrong Hospital as nurse students. We were the first ones who did it was amazing. Our hostfamily was great! They took very good care of us, learned us thai language and important things about the rules and culture things.

Henrika, Volunteer from Finland

I am very impressed with the staff and trainees at Openmind Projects. Each of them was committed to their work and handled their responsibilities professionally. Outside of work, the staff took care of us splendidly!

Bela, Volunteer from India/Singapore

The staff are very supportive, doing their best to fit the volunteer with the project. However it's also up to the volunteer to be tolerant, adaptable, energetic, positive

Jane, Volunteer from Italy

100% recommend and the prices are so much better than most volunteer places where it costs a fortune to help out just because of admin fees.

Sam, Volunteer from Melbourne

Everything with travelling, accommodation, expenses and security went fine, despite the fact that this village was one of the newest projects. The professionalism at OMP was the supporting reason for this. I would not hesitate to recommend OMP to anyone, regardless of age.

Gustav, Volunteer from Stockholm

Overall, this experience was life changing. Living amongst the Thai community away from the tourist region just helped me learn so much more about the culture and got me out of my comfort zone. I left Thailand feeling I had made a positive contribution to the preservation of Marine life in the Andaman Sea.

Laura, Volunteer from Australia

I found the experience immensely worthwhile. Openmind Projects provided a great base for my time in Thailand. I made lots of new friends through my involvement with the organisation and got to experience Thai culture and cuisine. Cheers
