Mote Oo Education accepts experienced and qualified volunteers. Some work with Mote Oo on teacher training or materials development. Others we match with partner organisations around Myanmar and on the Thai-Myanmar Border, for a minimum period of ten weeks. Depending on the volunteer’s professional background and skills, and the needs of the organisation, volunteers might work in teaching, teacher training and support, curriculum and materials development, organisational development or research.

Mote Oo does not charge either the volunteer or organisation for this service, nor do we supply stipends, training or ongoing pastoral care.

Where possible, host organisations will provide:

• at least two basic meals a day
• basic accommodation in Thailand.

Note:In Myanmar, volunteers may have to fund their own accommodation in guest houses (this costs up to $750 for one month)

Volunteers would be expected to pay their own:

• visa costs
• travel costs
• accommodation costs (if a host organisation is unable to provide accommodation)
• food costs (above the two basic meals a day provided by host organisations)

Note about our policy:

• Mote Oo Education is a locally run educational organisation which aims to help exceptional grassroots organisations find hard-working volunteers.
• Any volunteer positions with Mote Oo require a minimum of 10-week commitment.
• Mote Oo does not charge either the organisation or the volunteer for volunteer placement.
• Mote Oo does not offer extensive support for volunteers or organisations beyond advising and placement.
• Volunteers are responsible for their own trip planning, healthcare and well-being during their volunteer placement.
