Does anyone know about a charity organization for children which our daughter who is going to attending the medical school can volunteer. She preferes the. Thanks for any information.

There is the orphanage near HuaHin, which I'm sure plenty of HHAD members have details about, as it is helped regularly by expat fund raising events.
However, even doing voluntary work in Thailand should be approved by the relevant authorities, and may require a work permit. Best to be on the safe side and check first.

Agree with Mags. Be careful about doing voluntary work without the necessary blessing of Immigration. If you don't have approval, it can land you in trouble. I'm sure that if the situation was explained to Imm in HH, they'd look favourably at it and find a way for your daughter to legally help out. Take a look here:

I've moved this thread to a more relevant forum.
