“I am not always, or even usually, a part of these projects that transform the landscape, but I’m grateful to be here. “ - Bianca Palese, 134 TESS “My (joking) first thought was to wonder how the park staff taught the wild elephants to tell time...” "This was an extremely fun trip, one I’d definitely recommend to people wanting a bit of easy camping, but also something challenging enough to make you feel accomplished afterwards." "If you’ve ever visited or lived in Thailand, you’ve likely heard the word ฝรั่ง (farang) spoken in your vicinity." YinD volunteer, Kayla Kawalec, has found a way to embrace the label, with her own spin. Our Sticky Rice staff writers aren't finished reflecting on their first year at site. But this time - they did it in Thai. This weeks Chaa Thai episode features Raynna Jackson, group 134, living in Uttaradit - is it a northern or central region? You gotta listen to find out! Raynna is a YinD volunteer and she tells us about her students and how she’s adapted her plans at site throughout the past school year, about her site and everything it has to offer, and she reflects on the past year of service at her site. It's been exactly a year since Group 134 volunteers received their site packets and learned about the community where they would be spending their next two years of service. Congratulations to the Group 135 trainees on officially swearing in as Peace Corps Thailand volunteers yesterday! 🎉 Your hard work has paid off. @peace_corps_thailand has the scoop on what the trainees have been up to during their pre-service training, and Chaa Thai podcast introduces you to one of the members of the cohort, @elsiepagel "With the halcyon socializing days of the schoolyard behind us all, we... over here in the Peace Corps, have to socialize adult style. Some of us have resorted to the most geriatric form of socializing – a book club."
