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.

Arigato Rotarians!
This week ELF hosted representatives from the Japanese Rotary Clubs District 2660. We had a cermeony for all of our scholarship students and their teachers as well as ribbon cutting ceremonies for water projects at two Phayao-area schools. Thank you so much for coming and for providing clean water for the children of Phayao. Above is a speech made by an ELF scholarship recipient thanking the Rotarians. More pictures to come!
