1) Two of the staff
2) Dinner time
3) The children at work
I can feel the progress I am making with these beautiful children now. It is making it all so worthwhile. The staff are getting to know me and are relaxing more each day I am there. It will be very sad to say goodbye to them now. Only 4 more teaching days left! Today the children wrote their first sentence in English- My name is -----. I try to make the learning fun for them with lots of games and songs, all spoken in English. They have taught me a lot of Thai from the songs they sing-it works both ways.
This afternoon we are visiting a Temple, which will mean putting on long pants, a blouse with sleeves and closed in shoes. They are very strict with their dress code. It would be disrespectful not to adhere, and actually they would not allow you to enter. This evening we are heading into town to a coffee house. The guy who owns it was on our Island hopping tour yesterday, and he invited us for coffee. We don't look a gift horse in the mouth. Tomorrow we head down to Krabi for the third weekend running. No decision has been made on what to do yet. I will write in my blog, hopefully on Sunday. The house will have filled up with more volunteers by then. I hope some of them have their own computers, or getting on this one will be tough, especially at the rate I type!!!

Hi Kerry, glad to see that the teaching is going well and that your investment in learning Thai is paying off
Hi Sis , you seem to be having a bonza time (aussie term - don't know what it means)! I imagine you'll be missed by the children when you leave.
Heard some sad news this week, John Hanson died - I'm going to his funeral today.
We've had three falls of snow this month and I've been working hard making sure Tess can get to work- ever the caring husband!
