Graduation Party for 1st Term of English Lessons for Burmese Refugees

On Friday 25 March GVI was very proud to host our first ever graduation ceremony for our Burmese Refugee English program. Held at the Resource Centre for Burmese groups in Chiang Mai City, we hope this marks the first of many successful terms of English lessons that GVI volunteers and interns can offer.

GVI’s English teaching intern, Kate from Australia, addressed an excited crowd of her students and awarded certificates for successfully completing their first term of studies. The students are split into 3 levels based on their abilities and some will now have the chance to progress to higher classes. Certificates were signed both by senior GVI field staff and the Resource Centre’s manager. All of the students gave sincere thanks to Kate and expressed their gratitude for the lessons we provide, with a few speeches made and fond moments shared. Then of course at the end of it all, there was cake.
