This is the story of my big adventure (or is it mid life crisis?). The plan........ to travel to the Issan region in NE Thailand to work with the Open Mind Projects, a charity organisation, for 3 months on an Eco-tourism project.
You can read more about Open Mind projects on their website (http://www.openmindprojects.org).
The Project:
The Phu Wua Wildlife Reserve is located in the northeast, Isan, close to the Mekong River. Open Mind Projects have started a special Eco tourism project here, to offer Eco tourists a combination of home stays with culture experiences and trekking on the mountain. The Phu Wua is the home to a herd of wild elephants that can be spotted around different parts of the sanctuary.
Volunteers work with villagers, the wildlife reserve rangers, staff, local schools, and the local community. As a volunteer you can teach English, help to improve trekking opportunities, home stay services for tourists and create information material in English.
