The TSCWA welcomes
assistance from foreign volunteers. Important to our projects
are veterinarians, vet nurses, zoologists and biologists. Students
are welcome but they should have some practical experiences withwhich
to draw from.

Volunteers
with a veterinary background are likely to assist with both wild
animals and stray dogs. They and their travelling partner(s)
are welcome for shorter periods and can use our accommodation
as a base for further holidaying should they wish.
Biologists
and zoologists will likely do fieldwork towards wildlife conservation
and/or behavioural studies. This will require a longer stay of
at least a couple of months as it will be important to create
local relationships and better understand the environments where
our projects operate.
We prefer volunteers who have some related experience but we
also consider important an enthusiasm to better the lives of
any type of animal and are happy to do so under a culturally
different environment. By early 2008 the TSCWA has been assisted
by more than 150 foreign volunteers from 15 countries, each staying
for an average of 3 months.

Volunteers
should be prepared to pay for their own transport to Bangkok,
personal hygiene, food, and visa costs. The TSCWA supplies pleasant
western-style living facilities and assists with local transport
as well as the medicines, tools, and equipment needed to undertake
the various activities.
Please contact us if you are interested in assisting as a TSCWA
volunteer, tell us a bit about yourself, and give a timeframe
that would suit you. The work needs to be done so we try our
best to accept all serious applicants. |
