School Supply Drive for Orphans in Thailand: A Greenheart Service Grant in Action
Greenheart Travel Teach English in Thailand alumna, Alex Oetzell, used a Greenheart Service Grant to create a school supply drive for orphans in Bangkok, Thailand, through the Baan Nokkamin Foundation. This was a project she did while also working full-time at a school as an English teacher.

Greenheart Grants are funds awarded to Greenheart Travel participants and alumni to use for community development projects in their host or home country. A Greenheart Grant is the opportunity to create, improve, or maintain a meaningful, community-focused project abroad or at home. Grant funds could be applied to supporting women’s cooperatives, schools, community events, or environmental sustainability projects.
