As a placement organization, we receive a lot of queries from interested volunteers related to their work schedule and the tasks involved in volunteering abroad. The task for a volunteer working under any kind of a project, at a given destination, depends on the type of that project as well as the current state of requirements. Volunteering Solutions provide projects in four different cities of Thailand, and every location with a different set of projects to choose from. Here is a defined list of tasks for each of them;
