Opportunites
& Work

If you would like to work at Mut Mee we would be delighted to hear from you. We normally ask for nine months minimum and if you are a foreigner you must have a degree. We also ask that you should be able to speak English. The ability to speak Thai or one other European language would be very useful. If you are a foreigner this job comes with a work permit, hence the minumum of nine months and the need for a degree. Thai nationals, of course, will be treated preferentially. Do send an email to [email protected] and we will write back very quickly.

Pictured right is Martin helping the children at Sarnelli House. A Catholic venture under the direction of Father Mike Shea, this project cares for children who are all HIV positive.

Frequently orphaned by AIDS, these children are in need of any love and attention you feel able to offer.

For further information visit their site: www.sarnelliorphanage.org
Since the children infected with HIV/AIDS are now taking the Anti-Retro Viral (ARV) drugs, they are healthy enough to go to school. It is for this reason Sarnelli House accepts volunteers during school vacation periods only. These are March 15th to May 1st and October 1st to October 21st. They do not accept volunteers at other times.

The First Global Community College draws young people from all over the world to teach those who would otherwise be unable to afford further education.
