Carl (November, 2010)

Carl Tilly, an English guy who is currently living in Greece, had volunteered to teach English at Ban Nongsano School for approximately two weeks. During his voluntary weeks, he found opportunities to learn about Thai-Esaan people, food and ways of life as well as to join a two-day English camp at Suankluy School, Kanthalalak district, Srisaket province. He was helping ECClub’s staff work out with games and songs to inspire the kids to learn English with fun. Let’s go with his reflections on his experiences.
