Sight for Students

Many thanks to Sai Jai Thai, Rotary Japan, EGAT and especially Wankaew for all their help in bringing eye tests and glasses to our students and teachers in Phayao. We had around 600 students and teachers show up and be tested; many students walked away with brand new glasses! Here's how the process worked:

1. Registration2. Look really close at the eye

3. Eye chart4. Computer diagnosis

5. Try on a pair of glasses!

Photo Scavenger Hunt

In America, children often go on "scavenger hunts" to compete to be the first to find a list of things and win a prize. A photo scavenger hunt is when you have to take a picture of those things to be the winner. Today in ELF Club we had a list of items in English that teams of girls had to find and photograph. Here is some of what they had to find and photograph:

A ball


A smile

A flag

A map

The letter "T"

A teacher


The team that won!

A trip to Bangkok

The best part of last week's events was that three of our students came from Phayao to Bangkok for the first time ever! They were thrilled with CentralWorld's many stores and sights, but were mainly excited to ride escalators up and down and up and down.We got to show them their first McDonald's, took them on their first BTS ride and took them to an amusement park. It was a really great adventure and we're grateful to them for helping us out at the Cut-a-thon!
