Pictures from our great amazing kids day out to the Zoo and Amnuay Silpa Bilingual School in Bangkok - Thursday 01st March 2012.
58 children, 38 parents and teachers enjoyed a great big day-out in Bangkok. The children are from our adopted school, Wat Sam Ma Kan School near Ayutthaya. These children are coming from some of the poorest families in the outskirts of Ayutthaya and most have never even been out of their local villages, so this was a very special and memorable day out for them.
We took them all to the Dusit Zoo in the morning. Then after lunch at the Zoo some of our volunteer performers gave a fantastic, fun and interactive animal dance workshop with the children.
This will be followed by a visit at about 3.00pm, to the Amnuay Silpa Bilingual School in Bangkok where the children very much enjoyed another very special event when their Drama students staged a special production of Peter-Pan for our children, parents and volunteers.
Then about 5.00pm it was back on the buses with a picnic package provided by the parents of Amnuay Silpa School and great big goody bags filled with toys candies, educational materials and even soap bags provided by the British Women's group, SF Cinema Group and Gift of Happiness Foundation.
We made sure the children all received new uniforms before the great day-out, so there was no embarrassment suffered by the poorest of the children who have very limited shoes & clothing.
seven volunteer helpers joined us on this special day and gave donations towards our costs.
'Thank You' to all who helped make this such a wonderful day for those children!
