On behalf of the GAD Committce of Peace Corps Thailand, I wish to share with you some details of our 1st Annual Conference, as we are very pleased with the final outcome.
Our main aim was to help students realize the value of their education, in addition to our objectives related to learning and practicing both professional and life skills. In view of all that has transpired, I feel we have reached our aim and successfully gone beyond what we imagined would take place.
Orticanthried aya teather, in i erent das, ehear ad the and vitove and also in the laden tated oble slie leadership,
activities included, Let’s Cooperate, Human Knot, and Animals in Balloons. In each of these activities, students had to think about others, safety, planning strategies and communicating effectively.

to use what they already knew about e-mail, Microsoft Word, and the Internet to expand their understanding and skills, They were able to construct some very creative and informational web pages, while learning to perform new functions.
We ended with “Make a Dream Come True,” an activity designed to help students and their advisors brainstorm and plan how to take what they had mastered at the camp and pass it on to others within their own schools and communities. Some ideas they shared with us in the end were starting a computer club, e-mail exchange and pen pals, and tutoring other students and teachers.

Thank you for your support for my art project, Art in Roi Et. Let me tell you a little about the project.
Last April I began an art project with 10 students. We met for 8 weeks at my home. The students are Matayhome jr high) level from twitschools, Wat Sra Thong Municipal School and Ban Nong Ya Ma Community School, city school and a country school.
We took two trips outside to draw. One trip was to Wat Pranamthip in Roi-Et province. Another trip was to the NongKan Market. Both excursions allowed the students to draw in the real world and see things in a new way.
I asked the students to pick one piece of their work to send to the World Awareness Children’s Museum in Glen Falls, New York State. The museum sponsors an International Youth Art Exchange Program. It is like a penpal exchange with art. They have received our work and are in the process of sending original art to the students here in Roi-Et.
I now am working with 12 new students from four different schools. These students are 4th, 5th, and 6th graders. We have two outside trips planned. One to Beung Phalanchai Park in Amphur Muang Roi-Et, and one to the new Aquarium, also in Roi-Et.

Lori Kintz, PCV of Thai 111, and her colleague, Ajaan Weerasak Salthiyakul, were awarded $450 by FoT for “Project Transformation” last fall. The project involved the construction and installation of a playground for children living in a semi-rural slum in Ubon, otherwise known as the Don Yoong Community. The outcome of their combined efforts tells a remarkable story of what can happen when a community of people pools its imagination, resources and enthusiasm. It is an honor that Friends of Thailand is now part of that community.
I visited Don Yoong in Ubon for several days in July and learned more about it, the people who live and work there, the children who now use the playground equipment and the tremendous human spirit that has carved out a home where not too many years ago the United States Air Force stored weapons in underground bunkers.
