Does anybody have information on working in Thai refugee camps for people fleeing from Myanmar/Burma?

What jobs are availible in these camps? Only teaching English? Or are other positions for people like me - people lacking specialty skills - availible in these camps? Paid or stipend? Where do workers live? Safe or dangerous? How is the food? Who is involved? Both my girlfriend and I want to help out here and work with some refugee all stars.

On another note...who is running the tsunami relief effort? Do these organizations still need full time workers?

I�m new to the international travel game, but I�ll be arriving in Thailand soon. Thanks for whatever accurate info you can throw my way. PEACE.

Here's another Myanmar lead for you to check into:

If you click on the "Master Index Thailand" sticky at the very top of this forum - and then scroll all the way down to Part II - VOLUNTEER in THAILAND - you'll find a few more links that may be of interest.

Regarding the tsunami relief effort: I'm not exactly sure who's doing what at the moment, but you could E-mail these folks for some info and/or contacts. They could at least point you in the right direction:

Peace to you too!
