The Burma Volunteer Program (BVP)
The Burma Volunteer Program (BVP) was founded in Thailand in January 2001 to bridge the gap between pro-democratic Burmese organizations looking for assistance and volunteers wishing to donate time and skills toward the creation of a democratic and just Burma. Since then, BVP has placed more than 400 volunteers whose duties have ranged from teaching English communication and social sciences to report writing and human rights documentation. BVP consistently has volunteer requests from various civil society groups along the Thailand-Burma border. The minimum commitment for volunteers is 3 months, and volunteers are required to attend a 3-day orientation in Mae Sot before starting their placement.
