Volunteer work at Baan Nong Dang’s English Camp- 2013
In the summer of 2013, I volunteered at Baan Nong Dang School in Ubon Ratchathani province, which is located in the north-eastern part of Thailand. This community school has a limited number of teachers and it lacks the learning materials such as textbooks and stationaries. Therefore, effective learning is quite challenging for the students there. To help, I worked closely with the children on their rudimentary communication skills, everyday vocabulary, and simple grammatical structures. Within only a few days, I was surprised by how much they could learn, though pronunciation could be challenging for them at times.

Interacting with these students through games and songs, I
could also touch upon their optimistic and jovial nature that each of them had
contributed to create a community filled with such compassion and happiness.
Their open-mindedness was the glue that held the community together as a whole.
I felt connected to them and to the greater community, and leaving became
difficult.
