Rebekah in Chiang Rai

Chiang Rai teaching, elephant riding and hill tribe homestays!



After a long and tiresome journey having to avoid the closed Bangkok airport, Rebekah arrived safe and sound at the project in Chiang Rai and spent the weekend with our in country agent, Paul, before getting straight into teaching alongside the other volunteers.
Monday to Thursday last week was mainly spent teaching English and settling in.
Fri – Sunday she went out to the Hill Tribe villages, rode elephants, did some trekking and home stayed with Hill Tribe families. Feedback suggests she then had a great time shopping at the night bazaar on the Sunday!
Monday she was introduced to the E.Bannok shop as her uni is interested in doing further work with it. She has started to get to know the project more and prepare for her University’s partnership.
Teaching this week has mainly been cancelled as most schools are having a sports week. So the volunteers have all been doing construction work on another project that they have going, and today they have gone out to the sports day at Muay Mae Sai School.
All going very well so far - a beautiful part of the world at a beautiful time of year!
