In Thailand, I worked at Watkanlayanamit Buddhist school under supervision of Ms Onuma (English teacher there) with children between 3-5 and 12-13 years old. Staff at school where always glad to receive volunteers and help whenever we need. <strong>For me the most important was to spend the most time as possible with children or young motivated students aiming to improve their English level. <\/strong>As a matter of fact in Bangkok very small part of people speak English correctly (rarely the taxi drivers or some hotel receptionists) especially in Thon Buri neighborhood (which is a poor area). Despite of this issue I could manage but I strongly think that the first people needing English courses to reinforce their knowledge and speaking are Teachers (all of them) and other tourist-related professionals (such taxi drivers) and other adults being an example for children. If I could succeed being with children during school time (courses, recreation time and lunch time), I could not be put in contact with students or other young students that could be very motivated to have for free English reinforce class with me. I mean, only those who are more advanced (since in every class there were always 2-3 students with a much higher English level that like the language) and motivated for improving there English could have had 1h or 2h of free English support given by me.<\/p>\n<p>My travel has not touristic purposes and I wanted to devote my time to children. So I did not achieve my personal goal completely as I expected.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Dang seems to be a a very active woman working in a lot of things to improve life quality and her social work is very important. A very busy woman.<br>\nM Winyoo is an excellent person. An intelligent man also working hard to improve life conditions to people in the neighborhood. A very busy man.It was a pleasure to have discussion with him about the problems there and ideas of social work.<br>\nI thank them for their work.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My name is Gemma, and I work as an Associate Professor at Troms&oslash; University in Norway.
