ELF Club

girls from Baan Ka's ELF Club

Hi Everybody! I'm Linda, the manager of ELF. Today we had an activity for ELF students at Baan Ka school called "ELF Club". We began the activity by introducing ourselves and our foundation. It's was so sad to know that some of our scholarship students don't even know their donors. ELF club came into being for this reason. And also to teach the girls English and other life skills. After introduction, we let them play a game and sing Fa-Rang (foreigner) songs but nobody knows any Fa-Rang songs. They can sing only ABC song and they are really interested in learning English with us. Next time we are planning to have them learn more about English songs and kinda fa-rang.

After spending 1 hour with the kids, they seem to be more familiar and have fun with ELF and our team. This is such a great start !!
