During my pretravel research I learned of Ubon’s “English Crazy Club” (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/english_crazy_club/), a group of university students in Ubon dedicated to promoting the study of English among the local population. They organize English camps for periods of one to several days where children can have fun and learn English at the same time. English speakers come to volunteer from other countries, even non Anglophone countries such as Germany. In addition to the English camps, the club coordinates volunteer teaching of regular English classes in local schools. Although these schools would be thrilled to have long term help, any amount of time is greatly appreciated.
