My Nonprofit Reviews

My husband Terry and I first met Mundo through a simple Google search to ‘volunteer in Thailand.’
We had just embarked on the long journey to adopt a child from Thailand. I wanted to give something to Thailand before we received such a precious gift from them.
We went each October for 5 years and then we were matched with our daughter. We never expected to still go , but this Christmas will be our 9th visit and our 4th as a family.

Our first adventures included volunteering in Orphanges in Nongkhai . The charity then moved to Beungkhan, a more rural setting.

On one of our visits , we identified the need to assist in dental health. Our own daughter had several baby teeth removed when she came to Northern Ireland as she had previously not had a dental care regime. So we helped Mundo set up a Dental Health Programme in the schools. We were able to send over some games ( eg a Playdoh Dentist, some large teeth and brushes and a tablet with Dental game apps which proved very popular).
We also send money for toothpaste and toothbrushes.
INTERESTING FACT - a tube of toothpaste in Thailand is the same price as a pair to school trousers!!!
We also post boxes of nearly new clothes to Mundo. They are involved in many community projects and distribute these to those in need. It may not appear very ‘green’ to post that distance, but we would not be able to buy the items at the cost of the postage and they are much better quality so able to withstand lots of laundering !!!

We love helping with a small charity. Your experience is so much more personal.
Please contact Dalyn , Joanie Kayla and the gang and begin a wonderful adventure of your own
