We all woke up early on Saturday the 23rd to greet the masses of parents and children who came to attend our After-school and Summer school programs’ informational parent meeting. We set up four tents and arranged dozens of chairs (which we found stored at a nearby disused school).
Sudah looks cheery so early in the day
The kids and P’Sipan made Thai Iced Tea– adding so much sweetened condensed milk Amy dubbed it Diabetic Coma Drink. It was delicious. Mae Joom and P’Aoy for the most part ran the Registration table, but they had help.
Aom and Nu sip their sugary beverages
A girl (too young to come to the school still) plays with a friend instead of listening attentively to P’Pleuy.
P’Pleuy led the meeting, speaking in Thai. I thiiiink he was explaining attendance policies, the philosophy of the program etc.
Mae Joom and Evelind listen closely while Shafer takes a moment to stare into space.
P’Pleuy opened the meeting to questions. Yes, that girl in the front row is in her pyjamas. She’s just cool like that.
Shafer takes the mic, translated by PJ.
PJ gives a three-point lesson to his young son.
After the speaking, interested parents and kids came into the classroom to inspect.

The morning concluded with a delicious lunch prepared by P’Sipan and the kids!
