Get Involved with Local Communities
The Thai Lao Cambodia Brotherhood assistance representative
in Nakorn Phanom and the Foreign and Thai Integration Club from
Assumption University in Bangkok have been working together
for about 6 months to bring a dream to reality.
Viki Roth, a student at Assumption University
had a dream of helping kids in Isan. She contacted Nick Ascot,
North by North East Travel Director, who urged her to work with
John Middlewood, TLCB Assistance Rep in Nakorn Phanom, Thailand.
After 6 months of effort, the dream came to reality at 9 am
Monday morning, Oct 16, 2006 at Ban Naratchakwai Elementary
School with the start of of an English Camp.
In attendance at the opening ceremonies were the
Assistant Director for Public Education, Nakorn Phanom Province,
Division 1, Chief of the Naratchakwai Subdistrict, representing
9 villages, Action Officer for the subdistrict, six principals
from the participating schools, a variety of public officials
and teachers and Pomphan. The camp has 107 5th and 6th grade
students participating and 20
teachers.
Below are some pictures from the first day.
