Sorry that I have not been able to blog. The internet is very tricky over here. I have managed to upload on youtube video on the blog which is about the plane flight and about 10 new pictures of the students in Thailand. I have to wait about 10 to 15 minutes to upload every two pictures. I will try to keep everyone up to date though.

That aside after the almost 2 day journey of the plane flights and bus rides we have been having wonderful days here. The teachers and the students are having a wonderful time with the Thai Hmong people. There is good food and the weather is great.

We started out on day 2 of being in Thailand going to CSE's sister school and visiting with the children and teachers at the sister school. The teachers showed us around and we saw what a true Thai School is like. We are way out in the mountains where the Thai Hmong live and the school is basically metal roofs with boards tacked on underneath.  After we were showed the school we ate traditional Hmong food which was delicious and then went and played soccer/futbol. The Thai Hmong are very good at soccer so it was a great game. The boys were very excited and did very well in the game. At night we then went to visit orphans that live nearby our hotel and got to learn alot about poverty and how bad the orphans have things. I think the students appreciated their lives in America much more.

On day 3 we woke up went to the market and then went to the school the girls played a soccer game and so did the boys they all did very well and we had a lot of fun and laughs. Most of the girls have never played soccer before so it was fun to watch them learn. 

Well that is it for now, All of the students and staff miss everyone from back home and will be back in a little over 2 weeks.
