Description:
| INSIDE THAILAND is a service-based, cultural-exchange program sponsored by the Cate School. Directed by bicultural educators, Mac Bakewell and Boosaba Nualhing, this distinctive summer program invites motivated teens to experience Thai culture from an insider's perspective, while bringing English to life in the same village school which Boosaba attended as a girl.
LAUNCHED in 1995, Inside Thailand is renowned for this intimate connection to Thai village life. Annual enrollment is limited to just eight qualified applicants, and applications are welcomed from students in grades 9 through 12 from across America and around the world.
OPPORTUNITY: Thailand, the colorful kingdom well known for exquisite cuisine, fine silks, and golden Buddhas, is most famous for its vibrant people and their radiant smiles. Here is a unique opportunity to feel the true warmth of those smiles and to share our own Western experience with eager Thai counterparts.
ADVENTURE AND EXPERIENCE: We will explore the tropical countryside from teak forests in the north to coral reefs in the south. We'll visit ancient temples and modern cities, study Buddhism with revered monks, rice farming with traditional growers, and social issues with dedicated activists as we examine some of the challenges facing this culture in transition.
CULTURAL EXCHANGE: Most memorably, we will become valued members of a Thai village community as we bring English to life in rustic, rural classrooms, form friendships with Thai students, and learn to see the world through each other's eyes..........
"I taught the Thai students English, and they taught me about life. Looking back on it, I would have to say that I received the more valuable lesson." -- Jenna Clemens, 1998..........
"The people, the village of Pah Leurat, and every single experience remain in my heart and always will. Happiness was on my fingertips there." -- Annie McKay, 2004 | |
