English Camp in the South

In July Tim & Bronwyn  headed to the South of Thailand to work with the River Team Members who are establishing a work with the government there.

We began by running a 5 day English camp in one of the local government schools.  Once the teachers at that school became aware that we had some free time in the afternoon, they connected with another school and organised for us to run a camp there also.  So we soon had 2 simultaneous English camps running.






95% of the students in these schools are Muslim, 5% are Buddhist, all are gorgeous treasures.
These kids are growing up in an area where bombs explode regularly killing innocent by standers. Where apparently random targets are shot dead in the streets and where there is much uncertainty about their future.  With the boarders of surrounding nations likely to open in the coming years, English language is seen as a gateway to future employment and is sought after.

 Of course English lessons Perry style, are not quite like any English lessons that these kids have ever experienced before.  The good, solid, lessons are filled with fun, illusions, songs, activities and of course love and relationship building.

We were so touched and impacted by these kids and their lives that we would love to continue to work with them into the future, should the doors open for that.
