The ILP section of the school where I teach English to 11 and 12 year olds in classes of 40+. Basketball court on the left where my liveliest boys try and get me to play. I try the odd three pointer but it's so hot! I don't know how they run around all the time.
The IP section of the school where I teach art to years 5 to 9 (9 to 14yr olds) and I also help out for two hours on a Monday afternoon on big class projects. Phew, I now teach 23 classes a week! It's a lot of planning to do but it keeps me busy.
The school cafeteria where we eat freshly cooked Thai food every day. Jamie Oliver would do a little dance if he saw what these kids eat! Dinner is free and most days it is very tasty, though I admit, somedays it's a little too Thai for me! So there is another cafeteria where you can get something plain like chicken and rice with a fried egg.
A catelogue shot of the ILP office space. We get free bread and chocolate milk everyday!
The football pitch. We will take the team to glory. The heat is stifling to us farangs but the kids are out there whenever they get a chance.
This section is like a miniturised road system and the kids run around it like its a race track! Thai kids will make a game out of anything, a mentality I can definitely relate to.
Oh yeah, there's a 50 metre gorgeous swimming pool as well. We can't use it but wow, a 50 metre outdoor pool!
