Aly, I would like to thank you for everything! I am now smarter than I was
before. I will never forget you and I hope that you will never forget us
students at R35. Good luck in life. I will wait for you to come again.”)

The
ESL volunteers teach English to all students at the 35th Rajaprajanugroh
school. Their volunteer time in Thailand can range anywhere from 5 months
to a year or longer. Once there, the ESL volunteers enjoy themselves
tremendously. They are creative and self-motivated people who come up with
their own ideas for improving the program. Sometimes, the volunteers like
it so much that they refuse to leave when their time is up. This month,
three volunteers have decided to stay on longer.
Current Volunteers:Jill Ingram, Maile Busby,
Mandy Frichtman, Robin Frichtman, Tyler Brown, Wai Yee Chen
