Thailand English Camp 2019

Hi everyone!

In October, I’m once again heading to Thailand to Teach English at a holiday camp for children. This has been a commitment of mine for the past 9 years and I love it

From October 14-17, we host 120 kids (from all over Thailand) at a Red Cross facility and we teach English. There’s also a lot of fun and games. It’s a great time!

We also work closely with a local prison/girls’ home (all one complex), specifically with girls who have been rescued from sex trafficking. There we run games, English lessons etc, but my favourite (yet most heartbreaking) part is talking with the girls about both their experiences as well as their hopes and dreams.

We normally do most of our fundraising with firewood but that’s not an option this year. I’m paying a lot of it myself but I can’t do it all.

The kids at English Camp are supposed to pay ~$30NZD each but for many, that’s still out of reach. We want them to come so if they just can’t afford it, we sponsor them. On top of this, the camp costs more than $30 per person to run so we pay the balance.

This fundraiser is going to be split 50:50- between flights from Christchurch to Bangkok and sponsorship of children. Any extra money will go into sponsoring the kids so they can have a great camp.

Thank you so much
