DragonFly – Volunteer Projects, Thailand

Dragonfly Volunteer Projects came into being in 2004 when founder Martin Walsh decided to do something about the obvious demand for volunteer English teachers in the rural Northeast region of Thailand.  English as a second language (ESL) was most often being taught by teachers who had little training in the language and sometimes by no one at all!  Martin wanted to help schools find much-sought-after native speakers of English to teach their students without placing increased demand on the schools’ already strained budgets.  Thus, Dragonfly Volunteer Projects were formed as a link between people looking for low-cost volunteering opportunities in Thailand and the students whose needs they could help to meet … (about 1/2).

BRussells Tribunal – Questioning the New Imperial World Order

Linked on our blogs with Failure of the Globalization Model: The Arab Spring of Democracy.

The BRussells Tribunal are intellectuals, artists and activists who denounce the logic of permanent war promoted by the American government and its allies, affecting for the time being particularly one region in the world: the Middle East. It started with a people’s court against the PNAC and its role in the illegal invasion of Iraq, but continued ever since. It tries to be a bridge between the intellectual resistance in the Arab World and the Western peace movements …(Homepage) …

Population and Community Development Association PDA

also in Thai

The PDA was founded in 1974 as a non-governmental organization with the initial aim to complement the efforts of the Royal Thai Government in promoting family planning in Thailand, especially in areas where knowledge and access to services were scarce. Utilizing a participatory, community-based approach, PDA recruited and trained residents of villages and urban neighborhoods to provide information on family planning, including the supervised, non-medical distribution of oral contraceptives. This distribution network covered more than one-third of the country, thus contributing significantly to the decrease in the annual population growth rate from 3.3% in the mid-1970s to 0.6% in 2005. During the same period, the number of children per family fell from 7 to under two … (Homepage 1/2).
