Call for Volunteers
BAMBI is run by a group of lovely volunteers. Want to have fun, work together with other great parents, brush up on your professional skills, and do something for the BAMBI community? This is your chance. As many of our current committee members are moving on from Bangkok, BAMBI has a number of critical roles to fill to ensure ongoing service to members.
