“When we look back at our time in Thailand everyone can think of the day we arrived and all the things we believed we could not do. Through hard work and often looking like a fool, we have set out and done the things we thought we couldn’t and more. _ This Hispanic Heritage month, we take a moment and review our bicultural, bilingual, binational experiences in the Land of Smiles.” 💭📝🌎 ____________________________________________________ #peacecorps #peacecorpsthailand #howiseepc #pcv #thailand #onlinemagazine #hispanic #hispanicheritagemonth #internationaldevelopment #diversityabroad

Youth Council Event "Self-love" by PCV Katie: “This past Saturday, September 7th, the youth council from Kut Wa Sub-district hosted and facilitated a one-day event about “self-love.” For my youth leaders, learning about self-love took the form of learning about safe sex education and teenage pregnancy prevention and drug safety and abuse. The youth council invited a public health nurse to come speak about how to use and access contraceptives and the impact and responsibilities that come with parenthood in the morning, and a police officer came in the afternoon to discuss drug awareness and strategies to avoid drugs for young people. . Sixty seven students from two local primary schools (35 girls and 32 boys) were led by 25 Matayom students (14 female and 11 male) from around our District. While I hosted planning meetings at my home, discussed potential games and activities, and provided support on the day of the event, the youth council took the lead in planning and executing this event from start to end. . I learned a great deal about what being an effective co-facilitator for them would look like -- and it often meant taking a big step back and letting these young people shine. They are so capable and did an incredible job dividing tasks based on individual strengths, with some students managing logistics and preparing materials for the next activities and others emceeing and engaging the crowd. . My students told me that they had a lot of fun playing games and learned from the event. I am so proud of the youth council for planning and putting on such a successful event educating younger students about issues they feel are impacting youth in their community..” - @ktbassett - #peacecorps #howiseepc #peacecorpsthailand #thailand #community #pcvlife #peace #onlinemagazine

Trash Management Training by PCV Matthew: Last year while doing a SWOT analysis with my office, I came to discover that one of my office's main concerns is proper trash management. Knowing that trash management is a priority for the community, I decided to pitch an idea for the funding. The idea was to host a training for the student council at the school about proper trash management. My office loved the idea. Nonetheless, I cooperated with the teacher who manages the student council at the school. He suggested that a training about HOW the student council can educate other students about the 3Rs would be an effective use of resources. Therefore, the training was essentially a session on how to convince people from a community/policy stand-point. After creating a simple framework for the students, I came up with three ways the student council can influence their friends about the 3R's. . On the day of the camp, 15 members of the student council showed up. The first hour of the camp was hosted by a trainer from CP who reviewed many points concerning the 3Rs, and how to separate waste. After her session, I led a session to introduce the three methods of how the student council can influence their friends. More importantly, after the introduction, the students had a chance create an action plan about how they can implement the knowledge from the camp. After they action planned, we introduced resources in the community that could support the students in their pursuit to practice better waste management. We first went to a place where students can sell their plastic, glass, aluminum and paper waste. We also went to a factory that recycles plastic bags. Nonetheless, the students now have the knowledge to practice proper waste management, and how to influence their friends to do so. Now, my goal is to work with the teacher who manages the student council to facilitate sessions to ensure that the students use their leadership skills to actually implement this knowledge. - #peacecorps #howiseepc #peacecorpsthailand #thailand #community #pcvlife #peace #onlinemagazine
