It’s that time of the year; Christmas is coming which reminds me of an old nursery rhyme:
At BEAM Education Foundation it’s holiday time and end of term. Over the past months Roger, Bob, Anne, Peter and myself have thoroughly enjoyed sharing with the students on subject matters such as famous people: Neil Armstrong, Nelson Mandela and Christopher Columbus and debates topics such as: “Girls are better at Studying than Boys” and “Smoking should be Banned” to name a few. We have all learnt from each other with a smile, laughter and even a tear, but really good fun.
The coming New Year brings a promises of surprises, opportunities and excitement. For BEAM it’s a new term, with lots of studying for the students in preparation of exam time in March and April.
For Rotary it’s a new role with the coming sessions. In the past, our focus has been to help the students with preparation for exams on GED Social Studies. Lulu (full time volunteer English teacher) needs support, so our role will be to go through her lectures in advance, helping the students in understanding words, their meaning; subject arguments, their structure and interpretation. About half the students are from Chiang Mai and the other half are from Mae Hong Song, Mae Sot and the refugee camps.
We Need Your Help ……………
Our need is a minimum of four people, ideally one or two more, and at the moment we have two as Bob is away on travels.
So, come and share with the students who dream of getting an education to grow and become successful; their smiles and appreciation is a heart-warming experience.
