Breakthroughs Abroad is an international community service organization that offers 4 to 6 week service learning trips for high school students to Thailand, Ecuador, Nepal, Tanzania and the Navajo Reservation.
Students combine community service with family stays and travel.
Spend three weeks helping this central Thai community rebuild the Wat Tungtatyya primary school while living with host families and learning Thai Culture. We'll also spend time visiting some of the numerous temples that grace Thailand as well as travel to northerrn Thailand and spend time on pristine Thai beaches. We'll also travel to the northern city of Chaing Mai, to southern Thai beaches, and to the ancient Siam capital of Ayuthaya, a UN World Heritage City. Each program provides immersion in the daily culture of a single place and people. Many Experimenters become engaged in the life of another country through community service or travel, some study the language of their new country, while others explore international ecological problems.
