Volunteer Opportunities
Starfish Ventures seeks the support of student nurses and health care professionals to provide nursing care in Surin, Thailand. Starfish’s Nursing Venture provides the perfect framework for student nurses to complete their Elective Placement or an internship (subject to agreement from their educational institute).

The scope of nursing work is extensive. Volunteer student nurses will work in a number of walk in health clinics for rural people in and around Surin City.  You will assist the qualified Thai staff in all aspects of their work.

Dan Bressington helped set up and continues to support our Nursing Venture. Dan is an English Registered Nurse who has held many senior positions in the NHS, including Senior Clinical Charge Nurse and is presently lecturing at Christchurch College, Canterbury.

Volunteer Work and Fun
Surin is a growing destination for more adventurous travellers to explore but remains an unspoilt , fascinating part of Thailand which lets visitors experience Thai life away from the tourist crowds. By working as a teacher in Surin you will experience Thailand not as a tourist but as a valued member of the local community.

Surin is ideally placed to explore other parts of Thailand during your stay. The mountains in the North and the islands in the Gulf are only an overnight bus ride away, whilst the Thai-Cambodia border is only a few hours away. There are numerous fantastic places to spend your free weekends.

Unique Volunteer Opportunities
This is a truly unique opportunity to make a large and lasting difference whilst observing the working conditions of health care professionals in developing countries.  Experience traditional rural Thai life, and explore the breathtaking beauty of both Thailand and Cambodia. Joining the Starfish Nursing Venture will not only provide a significant enhancement to your professional resume, it will also provide you with a firsthand perspective of medical challenges and successes overseas.
