We are a Belgian Thai non-profit working with schools and communities in Isaan.
Isaan is home to one third of Thailand's population and faces persistent rural poverty.
Scholarships for bright students, volunteer English support, and IT classes in rural schools.
Our cooperation with the Odisee College in Belgium was recently featured in Het Nieuwsblad, a leading Belgian Newspaper! The article, titled 'Odisee College sends their students across the whole world', shows the many ways in which Odisee students can perform an internship abroad. Fund Isaan is honored to work together with such an innovative organisation and we hope to send many more student teachers from the Odisee College to Thailand in the future.
The latest Fund Isaan volunteer to travel to Thailand was Maarten Kerkhofs, who worked at the Naraikhampong School. He was our first volunteer there, which can be an extra challenge.
August 2015. A team of volunteers lands in Bangkok. Their task: install five computer classes at primary and secondary schools in the provinces of Roi-Et, Buriram and Surin, and repair & update all classes installed in the last three years. Timeframe: two weeks. Impossible? Not for this team: Klaas Vandeweerdt from Deloitte and Jelle Slowack and Yvan Piens from Delaware Consulting.
Fund Isaan has been active for a little over 8 years now. We have been able to do so many things to improve the education and economy in Isaan, Thailand. We couldn't have done it without you! Thanks to everybody for supporting, sponsoring or volunteering with us!
