I just came back from project trip at Chiangrai :) the boarding house for 30 students almost finish and students can stay there from next simester leew. Oh! Thanks a lot to Singapore volunteers Annie, aanchal, karen, zara and sara, they were helped me paint the boarding house BLUE! I love it 5555555555, I will upload pics on my site as soon as possible.

The weather in Thailand is really hot but the Songkran Festival is coming, Songkran festival is a good time for holiday, Thai people will go back to home and spend time with family together with do Pay Respect Ceremony to elder people. For teenagers, it's time to play water by sprinkle or pour but I have to go back to home to organise the camp for Children :)

Any way, if any one want to play water in Thailand I would like to recommend you.......Chiangmai..... I would like to play but I want to see children as well, therefore, I will go to play water with children at home and see my parents as well.

Songkran festival is new year festival for northern Thai people, it will be the middle of April.

have fun...........holiday

Child's Dream Home

Child's Dream Home!!!!!!! Is this house nice? this is 11 children from Maesai, mostly Akha young girls and boys, they were born in Burma side but grow up in Thailand. This is a new house as Thai Lanna style, going to be 4 weeks already that children came to stay in this house, they really like this house, me too. Children studies Thai, English, mathematics+ vocational training.

these are 11 Children in Child's Dream home, most of them are without the paper as Thai.
I love them very much, forget to tell you that I also stay this house with children (with the boys)

Most of them will attend non-formal school in Sansai Chiangmai and this also a project under Child's Dream Foundation.
