Presented by Her Royal Highness Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Sirivadhana Barnavadi in London, Volunteer Teacher Thailand were given the award for being “a well thought-out and well-managed scheme that ensures best use of the volunteers and a consistency in the lessons.”
The judges added that the organisation was “streets ahead of other teaching programmes” they had seen.
