Art club

This week at ELF we learned about great art throughout history. The girls then painted or drew works inspired by the likes of Picasso and Van Gogh and the King of Thailand.

Happy Mother's Day!

Last week in ELF we had the boys make bags for their moms for mother's day, which in Thailand is on the queen's birthday on August 12.

SIdewalk chalk

Christi brought lots of fun toys for our after-school ELF Club too! This week we've played with parachute soldiers, sidewalk chalk and temporary tattoos! As you can see, the boys loved it.

Girls rule

This week in ELF Club we had a visitor all the way from America come and teach us about reproductive health! My friend Christi, a nurse in Seattle, explained reproductive health to the girls and got to learn about staying healthy. Thanks, Christi!

After school

ELF Club II

We have started another ELF Club at our house for students from Baan Padaeng that live in our neighborhood. The kids enjoy movies, games, art and basketball! It's fun to have them show up after school ready to play.

Outtakes

Where do you want to go?

This week in ELF Club we reviewed the girls' life maps and then asked the question, where do you want to go? Some girls wrote a short paragraph, others did collages from magazines and some drew pictures. I forgot to take pictures because the day was so hectic and chaotic! Now that we have twice as many girls it seems we have half the time. But you'll have to take my word that it was lots of fun and the collages looked great.

Life Map

This week in ELF Club the girls made life maps or timelines to chronicle the important events in heir lives. Many of the girls were surprised by how much has happened to them at such young ages, and, as always, the girls love every opportunity to be creative and draw.
