Wir möchten uns von Herzen bei Patrick Pho-Ngam Forstner bedanken – besser bekannt als Mr. Global Thailand 2024 – für seinen Besuch bei Volunt2Thai.

Patrick ist weit mehr als nur ein Titelträger. Als Nationalspieler der thailändischen Eishockeymannschaft, international erfahren in Ländern wie Österreich und Kanada, verkörpert er Disziplin, Einsatz und Durchhaltevermögen. Sein Erfolg – unter anderem als Weltmeister 2024 in der Division III Gruppe A – zeigt, was möglich ist, wenn man an sich glaubt und konsequent seinen Weg geht.

Alf Poier Visits Volunt2Thai – A Meaningful Encounter

It was a special moment for our project: Alf Poier, known for his appearance at the Eurovision Song Contest, visited Volunt2Thai.

His visit was more than just a stop along the way. He brought curiosity, openness, and a genuine interest in what we do—qualities that are invaluable in our daily work. People like him have the ability to build bridges: between cultures, between different realities of life, and between individuals who might otherwise never meet.

Sometimes, it’s the small things that make a big difference…

Paul & Phoenix from the USA are currently volunteering with us and staying for a couple of weeks here at the Volunt2Thai campus. During their time with us, they quickly saw what daily life looks like: wide open spaces, many trees, tropical weather—and plenty of leaves and dust, especially during the dry season after strong winds or rain.

Wanting to help in a practical way, they surprised us with a thoughtful gift: an electric blower. 🙏🇺🇸

Since then, our daily routine has changed. What used to take a lot of time and effort is now easier, faster—and even quieter. Together with the children and our volunteers, we keep the campus clean, take care of our outdoor gym, and make sure this place remains welcoming for everyone. And yes—it’s even fun. 😊

This simple gesture reflects what Volunt2Thai is all about:
People come as guests to a Thai village, learn from the locals, and support children in the village and local schools.

Everyone brings something—time, skills, energy, or simply an open heart.

Whether it’s sports, yoga, teaching, music, working with nature, or even cooking with fresh ingredients from the garden—something real is created here: connection, exchange, and shared experience.

Our volunteers come from all walks of life—recent graduates, teachers, families, retirees—and they leave with memories that last a lifetime.

Thank you, Paul & Phoenix, for being part of this story. 💚

From the bottom of our hearts, we would like to say thank you! 🙏✨
We heard that you organized a Christmas market and sold small cakes and other lovely items to support Volunt2Thai and the children we care for. This truly makes us very happy. 😊🍰🎁

The year 2025 marks a record in renovation and beautification efforts – both on our campus and in the schools.

Through these ongoing projects, we are creating a welcoming environment where children can learn, play, and enjoy sports. At the same time, we focus on weather resilience, cleanliness, and protection from environmental influences – especially during the rainy season.

Food Forest Status, August 2025 😊❤️🙏

This month, our campus is once again full of life and energy. We’ve been beautifying the surroundings and continuing to care for our Food Forest project. Since 2022, around 120 trees have already been planted, each one a small step toward a greener, healthier future.

To all our volunteers and friends of the Volunt2Thai project – Volunteer to Thailand (อาสาสมัครประเทศไทย):

🙏❤️☺️ Thank you for your continued support!

Because of your kindness, not only could we expand the Food Forest, but we were also able to provide food to local schools during times when supplies were running low. Your generosity makes a real difference in the lives of children, families, and the community.
