Having made attempts to sort out a proper schedule for my weekly work, I have selected Tuesdays for work on the Thai Schools English project.
Today I visited, and shall do every Tuesday, Huay Sai School to assist with teaching English conversation to Mattayom 1.
When that is finished I will then be working on building up the courses and lessons available to users of the thaischoolsenglish website, for the rest of the day.
I also hope to find time to visit and encourage more local schools to join our program.
Todays lesson was centred on basic introduction.
Although the children were a little nervous at first we soon broke through that and I was impressed with the students efforts.

On Wednesday 21st I went for a long overdue meeting with Khruu Khem of Huay Sai School. Huay Sai is one of the schools on www.thaischoolsenglish.org, a project run in association with our Foundation, with a view to promoting English language learning in the local community.
Having been very busy ensuring registration for the Foundation I had been unable to give the thaischoolsenglish project any time over recent months. Now as I consolidate my daily routine I hope to resume my assistance with this worthwhile project.
In return Khruu Khem has agreed to be a regular visitor to the home, by way of offering some independant monitoring of our work.
She will come to visit the Childrens Home and be able to speak freely with the children on all aspects of their life here at Stratton House.

We have long wanted to have a Thai language version of this website as local support is very much wanted and needed. At long last we have made some headway. By clicking on the Thai flag you will go to the Thai language site. This is still under construction and at the moment contains both Thai and English language.
With some difficulty in finding someone with the time to be able to run the Thai language site we have decided to make it a project for the children. Each week a different child will write about life here at Stratton House. Then one of the 4 eldest children will enter the stories into the site.
If this goes well we will also be featuring english language versions of their work on this site.
We hope to get started with this project this weekend.
