The School

Monk Semana Lak decided that I was too free and needed to work for my lodging. Hence I taught the primary school kids how to draw birds and we did a small assignment of "Birdie Family going to picnic". Some of the kids are very creative. Some did up a cartoon script, some write an essay while some just sketched a drawings. I noticed the girls in the class are better in drawing than the boys.

The classroom is right in the middle of the woods. The kids study the same courses as normal Thai school. Nun Sekeman Chin taught Buddishm class. Notice that the girls and boys do not sit together even though they are in the same class. The boys sit all at the front rows while the girls sit at the back rows. Even in the big kitchen, girls managed the cooking while boys are responsible for cutting and chopping

I enjoyed teaching the kids very much. Not everyone of them live with their parents. One of the 8 years old girls Beer (pronouced as Bi-a) lives in the hostel here in Sisa. Her mom is in another Asoke village at Northen Thailand while her father works in Israel. When she is not attending classes, she helps out at the clinic. She is really good at cleaning the wound and applying dressing
