Sorry it has been such a long time since we have posted a blog; it has been busy busy busy here!!!
We are now teaching at two schools - One is called Wiang Wai and has mainly Shan Children attending. We teach here for six hours a week mainly year one to year three. We have also started to teach at Huey Krai for two hours a week. Half the school are Lahoo (Another tribal group) and the other half are made up of Shan, Thai and Akha children. We love all the children and have lots of fun teaching them. However, we come back to Chiang Mai each week very tired and ready for a rest.
We have also organised and run our first team. The team consisted of two girls and us and lasted for fourteen days. We ran dance workshops at our two hostels and at Wiang Wai, visted a new village, helped the children create an Akha show, visited Burma, played games and taught english. It was a wonderful time and it really brought our passion for Thailand back.
On the last night of the team the children performed for us and at the end Souey (who the Alban's sponsor) suprised us all ..................
We are now gearing up for the Southampton team, which will be out in four weeks and then it wont be long until Christams when The Alban family come out - HURRAY!!!!
