Unibreak Thailand - lots going on!



Dinner at Paul and Kanchana's - how to make a spring roll!


I just had dinner with all the volunteers accept Morgan (she is out in Yafu village on homestay)

All are good and having fun.  After dinner at my house I dropped them off at a farewell party for some of the Thai interns - so as you can imagine life here is pretty tough - Not.

What have they been doing this week?

Weekend gone - they went to Huay Mae Sai waterfall, White Temple and Black Temple.  (A picture of white temple is attached).
Weekend coming - they are planning on going to Chiang Mai for the Bo Sang Umbrella Fair.  (http://www.tatnews.org/events/events/jan/2324.asp)

Zoe - has been enjoying working in the Outdoor team and has been making a lot of bricks.  She is still trying to beat the record for the number of bricks made in a day.  She has also taught a couple of English classes and had a day cleaning and arranging the volunteer office - THANKS!! (that office clean up was much needed)

Emma - Has taught a couple of English classes, taught at the Special School and helped cheer up kids at hospital.

Kayla - Taught at Special School, done child care at Jalae and Pu Kor villages and helped cheer up kids at hospital.

Samantha - Has been teaching English and making bricks and had a day cleaning and arranging the volunteer office - THANKS!! (that office clean up was much needed).  She is also helping write a funding proposal for our Anti-Human Trafficking Project and I have been discussing with her some ideas for work with the youth groups.

Jane - Jane has been out with attending meetings and gaining information with the Thai Citizenship Project.  Also today I arranged for her to visit an IDP (Internally Displaced People)'s camp in Fang district later in the month.

Alicia - Has been doing child care, taught at Special School and helped cheer up kids at hospital.

Morgan - is out in a Lahu village.

James - His last week!  :-(  Child care, teaching the EBannok project workers and teaching at Special School.  James leaves us this week and heads off for a tour of Vietnam and Cambodia.  James has been an excellent volunteer and I wouldn't be surprised to see him back visiting at some stage in the future.
