A wide variety of opportunities are available. In-school activities include teaching life skills, art, crafts, music, dance, computer instruction, reading, photography, cooking (by and for children), and, of course, English language communication for young but quick-learning and enthusiastic non-speakers of English. Potential out-of-school activities for children include formulating games, teaching swimming and sports, nature walks, gardening, leading excursions and a lot of playing with kids. Other related activities could include trips to identify new students and community service. The school could use assistance in curriculum and teaching material development, in developing brochures in Thai and English explaining its activities and philosophy and in developing multi-media (video, photography, computer learning) instructional presentations and in developing its Web site.

Female interns could be very effective mentors for these young women.
