58. Step Ahead Training Centre and Preschool – Khao Lak
Step
Ahead Khao Lak, part of YWAM Relief and Development, was set up in
response to the 2004 Asian Tsunami, in which many thousands of people
around the Khao Lak area lost family members, friends, homes and
businesses. The vision for the training centre, based on Jeremiah 29:11,
is to bring hope to the people of this area by enabling them to develop
their core employability skills in areas such as English, German,
Hospitality and Computers, demonstrating God's love in action and
through relationship. Teams coming to work at the centre have the
opportunity to either assist in the ongoing English training program or
plan and run short courses of their own design (i.e. teaching German,
Swedish, baking...).The four Step Ahead Preschools are all located
around the Khao Lak area and reach out to their local communities
through providing day care for children of ages 2-6. Teams have the
opportunity to lead the children in some basic English, join in play
sessions and provide English training for the preschool staff. There are
also opportunities for teams to serve in local Thai Government schools
through sports camps or teaching English! For further information, feel
