Latest news from Chiang Rai is that all students currently volunteering there with Antips are doping well and enjoying themselves – here’s the latest from our in-country agent Paul!
The Year Out 5 had their tour of Chiang Rai last week, whilst Andrew, Jane and Kristen had their first go at teaching.
The 3 UniBreak volunteers loved the home stay last weekend and are going along well. Kristen and Jane are about to start teaching for 2 days at a English camp at a school in Chiang Rai. They seem pretty excited about that. After that I will try to get Kristen a bit more involved with other stuff as she is studying development and I want her to see a bit more yet before she goes.
Jane is going great and is such a happy and positive person.
Andrew also really happy and he has been helping with fund raising ideas and a few other bits and pieces as well as the teaching.
The 5 Year Out girls are great also. The longer induction training meant that they have had to wait a bit more to get their teeth into things but they are starting to now. Ashleigh is also teaching in the school camp. Amelia has taken over as the volunteer leader for all the volunteers here and has been very proactive. Charlotte is about to join our Citizenship team as she is going to study law, so I think she’ll find that interesting. Emily and Louise are involved with the teaching and I am still devising a cunning plan on how else I can get them involved in various ways, but so far they seem happy.
The 5 Year Out students will go on their home stay this weekend, while the other 3 have a weekend off and the plans so far seem to be leaning towards visiting Chiang Mai.
That’s all for now!!!!
