Foundation Since its establishment (2004) the Robert Dyckerhoff Foundation is active in
the province of Mae Hong Son in North Western Thailand. It is our first priority
to give children from the mountain villages the opportunity to have their
secondary education. At the moment the foundation supports 16 university
students, 40 in high school and 19 in a vocational college. Former scholars
were already graduated as doctors, teachers and clerks. Now they are
working in their native region to evolve and establish the infrastructure.
Practical education is equally important for the region. This is why we started
a cooperation with the local Vocational College in 2012. In autumn 2015 the
second Robert Dyckerhoff dormitory was opened at the Vocational College.
Job specification You have a diverse field of duties:
As a volunteer for the Robert Dyckerhoff Foundation you are working at the
local secondary school or at the vocational college. You are teaching English
to students at the age of 14-18 (secondary school) or 18-24 (vocational
college). Previous experience in an educational sector is desirable for the
work at the schools. A technical education or experience is helpful for the work
at the Vocational College. Your second duty is the work for the foundation. You
will give extra lessons for the fellows who live in the Dyckerhoff dormitories.
Furthermore, you will collaborate and accompany ongoing projects. You will
help to develop new projects. It is your job to evolve and support the work of
the foundation. I.e. at the Vocational College projects in the sectors of textile
and gastronomy have started. And besides that you are responsible for the
communication including the intern communication between Germany and
Thailand and PR, like the quarterly newspaper. Another duty are the interviews
and the selection process of the future scholars. This includes visiting the
villages around Mae Sariang. In the future we will continue to send two
voluntaries to work on behalf of the foundation in Mae Sariang. Every
volunteer has separate duties in one of the two schools. At the same time both
volunteers will support each other in the general work for the foundation in
Mae Sariang.
