On Tuesday 7 July, Fiona Vacher and Irvine Wright, 2 Forthview teachers are travelling to Hle Bee School in Mae Sot under the auspices of DfID Global Schools Partnership. They will be visiting Dr Thein Lwin's Teacher Training Centre on the way. This year the learning projects will include Toothbrushing, Games, Governance, Early Years education, and Our Burma Book. Here you can see Fiona and Irvine telling Forthview all about their coming visit to Hle Bee.
Sheila Laing and Geoff Hart will also be travelling to Chaing Mai and Mae Sot with Fiona and Irvine. Sheila is going to be working with Dr Thein Lwin to be training Burmese teachers in Emotional Literacy Education.
Mary Ryan Gillespie, Headteacher of Pirniehall Primary School, is also heading to Mae Sot. On Sunday Mary and 2 of her teachers travel to work in Say Ta Nar school for a week. You can read her blog on http://www.pirniehall.blogspot.com/.
Life in Mae Sot is never quite what one expects however and so it was not a total shock when our friend, Guardian Angel, emailed today to say DK Hotel is being refurbished so they can't give you your rooms!! Many shrieks and screeches of laughter from Scotland later, Guardian Angel set out to fix up new accommodation for the 7 of us travelling ..... we'll phone tomorrow to see how it's going!!
Life's always interesting in Mae Sot....
