Volunteer Teacher Without Borders

Zitong Liu’s post in 2019 volunteer teacher project

It is already two days after the school opened, and it was six days after we back form Thailand.
“the time passed so fast” I talked to myself. Though it’s already six days passed, I still remember things happened in Thailand clearly. At first, I was not happy because that I didn’t live in the hotel, but live in the village. I hate that, I go out for trip why should I live in a place without good equipment, there are no hot water but full of bugs and roads which are difficult for walking. My friends all live in hotel, I mad at my mom: why didn’t you let me live in hotel? Days passed I played with friends that both live in there, we talked a lot and I felt that the village is the place I can feel Thailand and Chingmai. Hotels are everywhere, but that village is unique. Why should I give up a unique thing and choose a thing that is so normal that I can find everywhere.
The next day, we started to taught children. To tell you the truth, children we taught are very smart and good behavior. Still, at the first day we were very flustered we don’t what to do! We did not prepared the class, so that thing happened. This experience taught us a lesson, we should do something that we sure. Days after that we prepared our classes carefully and find many games for children. We also use gives to make the class have more fun, let them learn from the games. In fact, I have to say that we were very successful. We taught many things to the children and they can all remember them and our team had taught the most thing in this big group. I think I am proud of myself and my team.
All of all, this is a really wonderfully trip I took I learned a lot during this period. I am happy to meet to know new friends and I hope we can go out for something fun with this big family again.
