The following review was written excusively for VolunteeringInfo by a previous Fun4Kids volunteer. For more information about Fun4Kids, please see their organisation entry.

I landed in Phuket in April last year and grabbed a bus to Pakarang, a beach town north of Khao Lak. As I hadn’t arranged my volunteering experience or even found an organisation yet, the first thing I did during my first visit to Khao Lak was to find a westerner who had lived in the area for a while, hoping for advice on what to see/do and, fingers crossed, find out about worthwhile organisations to volunteer for. Luckily, I bumped in to a Danish guy who had lived in Khao Lak for several years and had a Thai wife.  During one of my visits to the pub they owned they told me about a friend of theirs called Steve, a British fellow who was in Khao Lak when the tsunami hit in ’04 and had stayed since.
