We invite you to join us in A Moment Of Silence.

We are people from all walks of Life who gather in spirit each day of the week at 12 Noon for A Moment Of Silence.

At this time we put aside differences and conflicts and open our minds and hearts to The Spirit Of Peace.

Some of us pray, some meditate, and some do both. Others simple pause in silence for a moment or two. Each follows his or her own Inner Direction.

It is our hope that by taking this time together, wherever we each may be, we will help bring peace and unity to ourselves, our families, communities, and cities.

As a whole, we are not associated with any particular political or religious philosophy or way of life. We come from many backgrounds with a common vision of peace and good will for all.

As more people participate in a daily, hearfelt moment of silence, surely The Spirit Of Peace will grow and increase among us. Perhaps, if our numbers become large enough, we may one day help bring peace to the World.

We invite you to join us at 12 Noon and look forward to being with you in heart and spirit.

Together we can make a difference.


Blessings And Best Wishes To You

Work

IHF needs people with all skills. No matter your experience, whether a student or retired professional, IHF needs you. At the centre, volunteers divide their time between playing with and teaching the children and working on international tasks. The centre host English, computer and math classes, and the children often seek tutoring for their homework, all tasks which volunteers take part in.

Positions

IHF offers a variety of positions at the centres depending on the interests and abilities of the volunteers. At-centre volunteers can either be short- or long-term. Short-term volunteers work at our centre for at least a month but no longer than a year and are expected to pay USD $50 a week for room and board. Long-term volunteers serve at least a year and are paid a monthly living stipend beginning at USD $120 and increasing to USD $160 after three months of training. If you are not interested in working with an international task team but still interested in staying at our centre and teaching the children, you may pay USD $200 a week to forgo this requirement. Volunteers are also welcome to serve just from home by joining one of the international teams.

Typical Volunteer: Our volunteers have a passion for immersion in foreign cultures, an openness to new experiences and flexible approach to work. At our centres they will work with local staff and directly with the local population in conditions very different from the Western world. Special projects constantly arise from moving food during famine feeds to monitoring children during breaks. Our volunteers have a lot of say in what they do as long as it is approved by the director and follows the mission of IHF.

Available To Participants: World wide

Typical Living Arrangement: Group living

Participants Travel: Independently

Typically Participants Work: Independently or in groups, depending on site

Application Requires: Resume, written application

Qualifications: Volunteers with IHF must speak English fluently and have a great attitude. They must also be mature, responsible, team players, fast learners, flexible and interested in global change through education and service.

Most importantly, our volunteers must have an open heart and a willingness to help others and make a difference!

Mission Statement:

IHF focuses on educating and feeding children who come from the most marginalized and disadvantaged backgrounds. IHF has set up orphanages in Kenya, Indonesia and Thailand. We seek to provide a way for children to get an education that they desperately desire and are not able to receive. By educating and teaching these children that they are significant and competent, we also teach them that everyone has a voice that matters. IHF promotes self-sufficiency in the communities we work in, primarily focusing on the education, nutrition, and care of children. IHF encourages understanding and caring between people of all nations and religions in order to better prepare the leaders of future generations.

Teaching English and cultural exchange in rural communities in Ubon Ratchathani

July 6 - July 19, 2009
August 3 – August 16, 2009
August 17 – August 30, 2009
August 30 – September 13, 2009
September 28 – October 11, 2009
October 12 – October 25, 2009
November 2 – November 15, 2009

February 1 – February 14, 2010
March 1 – March 14, 2010
April 5 – April 18, 2010
May 3 – May 16, 2010
 Ubon Ratchatani is one of the main cities of the Isan region, in the North East of Thailand, close to the borders with Cambodia and Laos. Although it remains among the most traditional areas of the country, it is also the poorest and less developed part in terms of infrastructure or industry; creating a huge rural exodus and migration from the Isan inhabitants to Bangkok. The Khueang Nai District administration wants to dynamize the Deng Mor rural areas and stimulate English learning through the international volunteers’ presence. The main target group of the project will be young people and children. Inside this larger framework, each project will address the specific target group in different villages in the Deng Mor area.
Cultural exchange is the main work of the project. The volunteers will discover the typical Isan culture and traditions, visiting villagers, farmers and local artisans, helping them in their tasks. The volunteers will also hold English teaching workshops for the children of several district villages. The exact nature of the work will depend of the needs of the village at the time of the project.
Study theme: The volunteers will learn about the culture of rural Thailand in general and the traditions and specificity of the Isan region. Thai language lessons will also be given to the volunteers.
Special requirements: A correct level of English language and the will to teach it to kids is obviously necessary. The volunteers need also to be motivated to discover Thai culture and to present the one of their country of origin.
Leisure time: Leisure time will be organised by the volunteers with the support of the group leader. The closest city is far but accessible. The region isn’t very tourist attractive as such but the nature is of extraordinary beauty: rice fields, small temples and natural parks are all over the region.
New years Eve, according to the Thai Buddhist calendar takes place in April. The volunteers in the April group will have the great chance to attend the ceremonies and festivities in the village with the local population.
Accommodation: The volunteers will be hosted in a traditional Isan house in the community and have access to the same basic conditions as any villager.
Location: The Deng Mor sub-district area is about 20 km far from Khueang Nai city and 60 km north west of Ubon Ratchatani city, in the Isan region, North east of Thailand.
Age range: 18 and over
