AFS Community Service Programs are perfect for university and graduates who want to have an international experience. With these programs, you’ll make a significant contribution to the community while gaining marketable skills by volunteering with a local organization-all while you learn about a new country, language and culture. Your work may involve environmental conservation, education, management, health, technology, social issues, or community development.
Thailand, the “land of the free,” is also known as “the land of smiles.” Although Bangkok records the highest temperatures of any capital city in the world and is choked with smog and traffic—sometimes worsened by wandering elephants—Thailand is one of Asia’s most popular tourist destinations. Among the lures is a culture never modified by Western colonization, reflecting the diverse influences of China, Burma and the religion of Buddhism, which teaches hospitality and kindness. Equally irresistible are Thailand’s luxurious beaches, plentiful ancient ruins and glorious Buddhist temples.
