“Teacher, teacher… I want to speak with Farang” , a little voice from a little girl who studies in a small school, remains deeply in my heart. The school is located behind a little mountain - "a behind mountain School" . There is no reasons to explain more about its meaning since the readers know quite well what it means. However it doesn’t means that these “Behind Mountain Children” are as the place their school is located. Such words they spoke with me immensely touched my heart - a heart of the teacher. They are determined to talk with Farang although they never learn English before. More than that farangs had never been to their rural school at all. “ Chang Peurk” (a white elephant) is the proper name I would use to describe these kids. The children's eyes are full of stars. They want to learn it, want to know it more, want to try it out, want to find it out and want to improve themselves all the time .

I am pretty sure that, one day, such self-determination will make them become the big Chang Peuks in the big forest. With this kind of realisaton, how can I just stay still, seeing their degree of self-determination was getting down because they do not feel that their dreams will never be fulfilled and become slowly fading away. As the one who can make for their dreams fulfillment, I decided to contact
