Travel and volunteer in Indonesia, Kenya and Thailand

Become a ‘Voluntourist’ in Kenya, Indonesia or Thailand
The International Humanity Foundation (IHF) is seeking forward-thinking, dynamic individuals of all
ages/backgrounds to contribute to our orphanage and education centers in Indonesia, Kenya and
Thailand. IHF has grown over the past 25 years under the visionary leadership of Carol Sasaki (CEO) and
the dedication of thousands of volunteers from around the world.
IHF is distinct from other NGO’s in this field as we practice the ‘Pass it on’ ethos in marginalized
regions. We offer the privilege of education to those who without our organization could not reach
it. IHF has no central headquarters, as each center is a product of its environment and follows the
cultural code and norms of its host country. IHF ‘Voluntourists’ teach English, computer and math
classes as well as maintaining relationships with local staff and the local population at every centre.
The relationships formed between the children and Voluntourists are lasting as they remain in touch for
years afterward.
At the centers, IHF requires its Voluntourists to work four hours a day at the center, six day a week.
There is time to sightsee and tour the nation, but work remains an important priority. This is a unique
position within IHF as it allows the volunteer firsthand experience in the field, also having time to
explore the local area – without the need to do international tasks like other volunteers. With the
chance to experience Balinese Hinduism, the busy capital of Jakarta or life in Indonesia's Islamic state,
Indonesia's rich and deep cultural diversity means each of our centers here offer their own unique
experience. Our Kenya center offers access to numerous wildlife parks and safaris, and our Thailand
center is in the vicinity of incredible temples, waterfalls and scenery.
Those who are secure without the comforts of home gain the most from this valuable opportunity.
We are looking for people who will bring a caring and nurturing attitude with the children. Your time
will be divided between the children and your own chance to visit the local tourist attractions. It is
very important to adhere to the local cultural codes. Fluency in English, both written and spoken is
essential.
Costs: IHF is committed to offering a flexible, affordable service experience. There is no application
fee, and the weekly fees for individuals are USD $150 and for couples and families only USD $200 to
cover the costs for their room and board, both of which are very simple, at the center. Only married
couples and immediate family will be allowed to share a room due to strict cultural codes.
