GRADUATION PARTY

On Saturday we hosted our Second Annual Graduation Party; this year it doubled in size and we had 48 students (3 boys even!). Here's what we did:

We had a representative from Phayao Skill Center come and talk about the job training programs they have there.

A guidance counselor came to talk about attending university.

A nurse came to talk about growing up, safe sex and all that fun stuff.

We played a game to help the students from 29 different schools get to know each other better, and we watched an MTV animated movie to educate the girls about the dangers of trafficking and the sex trade.
In the afternoon, we held career workshops in which the students got hands-on experience with different jobs. We had nurses from th local nursing school, a masseuse, a yoga teacher and the lovely Joy from Paul Mitchell came to talk about hairdressing. The girls loved getting to try all the different careers.
Thanks so much to all our wonderful speakers, guest career experts and volunteers. It was a great day for our students graduating on to high school.

Happy Valentine's Day!


At ELF Club we have been talking about LOVE. Who do you love? How do you show them you love them? Most girls concluded that they love their mothers and fathers and only sometimes love their brothers and sisters. We made collages about love and what love looks like. On this Valentine's day, here are some pictures of what love looks like to some of our students.
