Who would have thought that the petite French girl
that I am, would one day find herself going on a trip to Thailand… to teach
A temple English on top of everything ?! Certainly not my family… or friends… Even
I would not !
Once I worked the whole month of July to finally be
able to buy my plane ticket, there I went on a 6- week trip! 6 memorable weeks. It was a
pleasure to see the young poor children and very often orphans. 120 pupils aged 13 to 18
study in the Watphrathatwittaya temple school.
Everything was fascinating. Trying so hard to communicate with them
(due to my poor knowledge of the Thai language and their weak English) I felt a little
strange. But I loved spending my free time with all the young students and it was not long
before we found ourselves sharing a good laugh playing and even learning songs together.
When we were not laughing, we tried to exchange a few words in English and sometimes in
Thai!
This amazing experience helped me be more confident. It also gave me
a new goal: keep doing anything I can to help fill our world with laughter and joy.
