A big hearted challenge for big hearted people
Challenge Overview
WEEK 1:
You’ll have the incredible, rare experience of staying in a rural hill tribe while helping to improve children’s education standards. Working with children at a local hill tribe school, delivering workshops in conversational English, life skills, STEM and environmental awareness (with guidance from the in-country team and existing curriculum), aiming to make them as engaging and interactive as possible. What better of an opportunity to inspire others to learn!
WEEK 2:
Your second week is based at the Elephant Nature Park, an ethical elephant park that sets the bar in the region for elephant treatment. You’ll care for over 100 rescue elephants that have been abused and beaten. You will help with the park’s daily activities, such as clearing paddocks and stalls, walking the park’s dogs and planting grass, all while learning about the park’s compassionate efforts to save these beautiful animals. This is your chance to make an impact on such an important cause!
- Plan and prepare fun educational workshops (English, STEM subjects and life skills) for local children
- Take care of rescued elephants, dogs and cats at an elephant park
- Immerse yourself in a new culture and gain valuable skills and experiences that differentiate you from others
Elevate learning, nurture hearts, uphold ethical care for cherished animals! 🌟
