This means that things won't always happen with military precision! Expect to be flexible about timings and arrangements... everything will slot into place eventually. The important point is that YOU be on time - if others are late, or things get cancelled, then at least YOU can say "I was ready!"... New volunteers can experience frustration when things don't run to a timetable, but try to chill out, relax and if necessary, ask questions.
Please remember you are a guest in Thailand and are now at an NGO that is trying to help keep Thai cultures.
Please put your own culture aside and give Thai culture a try.
Try to fit in to Thai lifestyle. It may not be the same as your country and sometimes not as comfortable for you - but this is a great chance to try and experience Thai lifestyle, food and culture. The staff will try to make your stay comfortable and happy but you shouldn't demand too much that they change to suit your habits and wishes.
Please also remember that you are living and helping an NGO. The aim of the organisation is to help the Hilltribe people. Although we want to give you a great time and amazing experience, the main aim of providing help to the hill tribes must come first.
Please forget about your own comforts and wants for a little while and try the lifestyle of service to others.
Lastly - please remember the staff are here all the time and work very hard. They may not have had a holiday for a long time. They will often put themselves out to help you, so be aware that you don't ask too much of them. Help Mirror take care of their staff members.
