There we joined the Little Light Project by playing games, snacking, singing and dancing together.

The next photo is with a student named Daw, expressing her gratitude to everyone who participated. On the far right is the founder of LLP, Prae Sunantaraks. Join her group on facebook to learn more about their project or join the next activity. I’m very proud of this photo with them, except that it was taken while I wasn’t wearing my clown nose.

After lunch was Sanuk My Saturday, where we celebrate being child-like weekly and teach English (yes, in that order).

In the community we teach in, the smallest students are the ones who have the best attendance. Luckily, we are joined by great volunteers who are ready to help even when we change our plan to teach at the last minute to better engage the kids who come.

This week we begin an art project making a book called Big Fish. Big Fish is short story for kids about love and companionship that anyone will enjoy reading. The book is an original work written and illustrated by ISOS volunteer Lola Rainey to help us fundraise.

Until the end of February, when you donate $10 or more online you will receive a free copy that has been colored and autographed by the kids from Sanuk My Saturday.

Thanks for reading. In the next update I will share more about our plans to expand the program into another slum community in Bangkok.

Goal: To give higher education opportunities to disabled people and educate all people on how to provide services to the disabled. So they hope to educate both the disabled and able bodied people about how to help those with handicaps lead normal lives.

Projects: In Early March 2009 the college will host a story telling contest for deaf students. These type of events are hosted frequently at the college and often there is a need for volunteers to help facilitate the events. As we hear about them, we’ll share them with you.

Final Word: We didn’t go into great detail about this cause because they do have an English website. The site gives good details on how this project began, but needs to be updated more frequently to give details about upcoming events. See the site for details on how you can donate financially or contribute in other ways.
