Village Visit--Ban Thin Pha

 

 

 

Arriving at the next village, Thin Pha

 

Still drizzly

 

 

 

Vibrant classes, clearly industrious

 

 

 

anxious to show us their handiwork

 

 

on to another class

 

 

again with elegant work to show

 

 

the third class

 

 

the fourth and youngest class

 

they sang for us, and I sang "I Like the Sunrise" for them

 

 

And we presented books and materials to Pandi and her colleague, the only two teachers present that day

 

 

The school is constructed in an L shape, common in this part of Asia

 

 

Pandi, teacher

 

 

we stroll the village

 

 

 

chatting with this woman...

 

 

a crowd of 12 or 15 kids gather to look us over

but the minute I paid attention to them, they giggled and fled...

 

 

...but I coax them back

 

 

but never got them fully rounded up

 

Check out this little guy's independent demeanor

born leader?
