WHY VOLUNTEER NEED TO PAY ?

Many people have questions why volunteer need to pay for join volunteer program. I really want to explain in truly from my experience. My dream, I want everyone who joins volunteer program to have no pay money to join us program. Honestly, I promise with my first volunteer to do free volunteer program. Everyone who want to support me, they also want to free volunteer program and cheap price.
However, after we start up the volunteer program, I really understand
we can't stand without budgeting or money, everything can be an expense. it's hidden cost that we did not know. A school needs to set up budgeting to support volunteer. Coordinator need to have backup money for unplan work. A volunteer program is working hard for the coordinator, coordinate with school, volunteer and local people and other work. It's not quite easy to handle work. The coordinator needs support volunteers, school, and students and other work.The teacher needs to prepare curriculum for volunteer and take care them. We try to set up best environment for all volunteer as much we can. however, it still has some problem that we can't fix it.

All work ! that we need to prepare to have the operation cost. Even school try to set up budgeting still not enough for the whole program.

1) Operation cost of school, school lake off budgeting to hire the native speaker. They will set up some budgeting to support volunteer. however is not enough as we did before.

2) Operation cost of coordinator: it 's hard work to create the volunteer program in Thailand. If you don't have budgeting support from local government and any organization. That will support operation cost for the coordinator to connect school and volunteer and make everything smoothly.

3) Show the real cost: People in local will don't understand that how much that people need to pay for them. How many coordinators work too hard for setting up this project and handle it. The total cost can support them to understand.

4) Increase income Help local people have earn money. Help local people that have low education, unemployment and work on the farm. and have some debt when don't have rain and can 't work on the farm.Stop local people move to big town to earn money.
Everything has cost to control if we want to keep the project on we need to survive or get a sponsor. But right now we still don't have the sponsor yet. Also don't when !!I want you all to understand us situation. If you can accept all detail ! You can join us program.
