Village Project: Tung Sung School


This Friday the GVI team visited Tung Sung School in the village of Tung Sung in the Khao Yai sub district. Tung Sung School is a small primary school with 52 students in pre-school through 6th grade. The GVI team led fun, interactive activities with 24 of the 1st-6th grade students. Topics included colors, body parts, fruits and an environmental education workshop about litter and recycling.


The parents of the students had been invited out for a quick meeting to introduce the GVI team as well as welcome a new teacher and say goodbye to an old one. Each parent brought food to share and lunch was a literal feast. On top of the usual GVI picnic foods of sandwiches, fruit and pasta salad there was an array of rice, spicy curries, stir fries, chili pastes, fruits and sweets for everyone to enjoy.


Tung Sung School will be one of the 11 schools that GVI will be providing volunteer English teachers for at the end of this month as part of the teaching children project.
