Since its establishment in 2004 the Robert Dyckerhoff Foundation is active in
the province of Mae Hong Son in North Western Thailand. It is our first priority
to give children from the mountain villages in this region the opportunity to have
the secondary education. At the moment the foundation supports 16 university
students, 40 in high school and 19 in a vocational college. Former scholars
were already graduated as doctors, teachers and clerks. Now they are working
in their native region to evolve and establish the infrastructure. We realized that
practical education is very important for the region. This is why we started a
cooperation with the local Vocational College in 2012. In autumn 2015 the
second Robert Dyckerhoff dormitory was opened at the Vocational College.
You have a diverse field of duties:
As a volunteer for the Robert Dyckerhoff Foundation you are working at the
local secondary school or at the vocational college. You are teaching English to
students at the age of 14-18 (secondary school) or 18-24 (vocational college).
Previous experience in an educational sector would be desirable for the work
at the schools. A technical education or experience would be helpful for the
work at the Vocational College. Your second duty is the work for the
foundation. You will give extra lessons for the fellows who live in the Dyckerhoff
dormitories. Furthermore, you will collaborate and accompany ongoing
projects. You will help to develop new projects. It is your job to evolve and
support the work of the foundation. And besides that you are responsible for
the communication between the heads of the foundation who work in Thailand
and in Germany. In the future we will continue to send two voluntaries to work
on behalf of the foundation in Mae Sariang. Every volunteer has separate
duties in one of the two schools. At the same time both volunteers will support
each other in the general work for the foundation in Mae Sariang.
