There are many good willed organisations throughout the world some of which we work with on specific projects and others we just think are magical and should be talked about and shared with everyone. Below are links to both organisations similar to ourselves and organisations that inspire change and critical thinking skills. Please feel free to suggest anyone you think would fit in well to us

Populating schools with talented volunteers who wish to teach English near the area of Phucket is part of their goal in increasing the quality of life for the approximate 8000 population of the area. http://www.tmvolunteers.org Caitlin Gabel A progressive educational school which encourages critical and creative thinking and promotes the whole-child concept. http://www.catlin.edu/ Limitless Horizons Ixil LHI is an NGO from Chajul, Guatemala which does amazing work by fighting poverty and increasing the quality of life for the 4/5 people in that region that live in poverty.
