Not to dump on this exciting opportunity, but it is not once-in-a-lifetime.
There are companies and teaching institutions around the world, in a constant need of native English speakers.

What Cellinis wrote. Basic salaries start at 1000 USD per month, and include a share apartment, and reimbursement of your flight expense if you complete your one year contract.

Too many people without a reliable source of funds end up in Thailand each year and cause themselves and others problems as a result.
Wait until you have saved an appropriate amount of money and don't put yourselves and others at risk of problems if you fail to meet your expenses while there.

Ouch ... but who really knows anything about you, and what qualifies you to get donations from anyone let alone a bunch of professional pervs from this site.
I highly suggest you reach out to people who know you best: friends, family, organizations, church groups. Perhaps they would be willing to pitch in to your "Mission" of teaching poor children/people English in a 2nd/3rd world country.
Good luck. Thailand is a beautiful country.
