Our Team
We are working together
What started with three people and a lot of support from volunteers and friends, is today a social welfare institution with an effective team. Employees from different cultural background with different skills work together on the realization of BAAN DOI’s vision.
Our team work is characterized by respect and readiness to help each other. Wether it is with daily tasks, with preparing and organizing events, trainings, or holiday activities, the work is always shared. During regularly meetings we discuss duties, share information, and solve problems.
Well prepared for the future:
