Fresh Air

Overseas Trip

Dear Friends of Habitat,

Habitat Singapore is looking for volunteer-partners who are willing to help families build homes in Chiangmai, Thailand next February.

From the first nail to the last, you will get dirty, work hard and discover you have what it takes to build a better world. Whether you lay bricks, dig holes or paint walls, you will develop new skills, make new friends and experience what it means to give of yourself. If you are looking for an adventure of a different kind, do consider joining our Global Village build.

The trip details are as follows:

  • Date: 13-20 February 2010
  • Cost per person:
    - Donation : S$1,000
    - Incountry cost: Approximately S$450
    - Airfare : to be arranged together with the team

The above approximate incountry cost covers accommodation, accident and illness insurance, ground transport, most meals and water. The donation goes to Habitat Building Fund. Volunteers are encouraged to fundraise for that component. The team will also need to arrange their own flights and fly in together as a team.

Volunteer criteria:

  • 21 year old and above
  • physical and mental fitness
  • building experience is not needed
  • flexible and adaptable

The trip is self funded. If you are interested and fit the above criteria, please reply to Harsh at harsh.saxena@gmail.com and Angad at angad.s.sodhi@gmail.com latest by next Friday (3 Decemer 2009). They are the leaders of this Global Village team.

In your reply, please provide the following details:

  • Full name:
  • Age:
  • Gender:

Those who sign up to go will need to make deposit of S$200, which is non-refundable, but is part of the $1,000 building fund donation. They are also required to attend a compulsory briefing (date to be confirmed).

Only selected applicants will be notified

Thank you and blessings.
