Goodbye

This is my last post for the ELF Blog! I am moving home to America. I want to say thank you to Nong, Tung, Michael, Kai and Ton and especially to all our students for making my time so much fun. I will miss all of you. Here are photos from my last outing with our Baan Padaeng students. Special thanks to Paul Mitchell for supporting my time here. Chokdee ka!

Saying Goodbye to ELF Club

I am moving back to America next week so this was my last ELF Club. It was sad to say goodbye to the girls, but I am so excited for their futures and their potential. Appropriately, we talked about what we are thankful for since this week is American Thanksgiving. The girls were thankful for their teachers, their parents and ELF Club. Thank you so much Baan Ka students and teachers for being so welcoming to me and for facilitating ELF Club. I will miss all of you so much!

Japanese Rotary Visit

This week 6 members of the Rotary in Japan and 3 Rotarians from Bangkok came to visit the water project two years after it was funded and implemented. They got to enjoy seeing Phayao, meeting some students, tasting water fresh from the filters and they got to see perfermances by some very talented students. Thanks so much for your support and for your visit, Rotarians. Domo Arigato!
