About
If you are interested in learning meditation and Buddhist culture while also sharing your English skills to them, then teaching to Buddhist monks is an excellent opportunity for you. As a volunteer, you will work in the monastery where you will teach the monks and will be encouraged to converse with them so that they can improve their language skills.
The goal of this project is to assist them in becoming open minded, learning an international language, becoming fluent in English and learning new things.
