Reviewing Career Options

MTV Exit Short Film

We partnered with MTV Exit a few months ago for an event. They have recently produced an anime-style short film that we will be using to show students the dangers of trafficking but in a relevant, engaging format. I encourage you to watch it here. There are both English and Thai versions.

Cut-a-thon: the talent

Thanks to all the stylists and entertainers for keeping people coming to check us out!

Thanks to Central Pattana for the space!

Thanks to Paul Mitchell, iHealti, Guy Laroche, Pivot Point, Central Pattana, all our celebrity guests and volunteers, the ELF Cut-a-thon was a huge success! We had such a great turnout there was a long line. Our stylists worked so hard and worked without breaks! We did an interview with Thai ASTV, made lots of new friends and everyone looked great with their new cuts. Thanks everyone!

I want to be ______________

This week in ELF Club we encourged the girls to think about their futures and what it would take to get there. We had them draw a picture in response to "I want to be_____." It's exciting to think about what these girls can become and how much potential they have. The most popular answer was scientist, which was kind of surprising. There were also creative jobs like chef and photographer. Here are some of the drawings from the girls:
