As our Christmas Charity was so successful we were able to add Pinkaew School to our list of children to help. Some of our 6th form students travelled to the school on Saturday 25th January to give the children toys, clothes and snacks.
Upon arrival they were greeted by the School Director, teachers and children. After eating lunch with the children our 6th formers set up some games for the children; 'Knock down the Cans', bowling and 'Bounce the Ping Pong ball into the Cup.' There was much excitement as they enjoyed playing the games and winning some prizes.
This was followed by giving toys and snacks to the children which were happily received. Our last activity was well liked by the children; the clothes we had brought for them were piled up on tables and the floor. The children were then allowed to sort through the clothes to find some that suited them; all of them found a mixture of clothes they liked.
It was wonderful seeing the children again. They were very happy with their gifts and the sixth form students thoroughly enjoyed their time at the school.
Reflections from our 6th form students:
We worked together, supported each other and learned the importance of giving to others. The smiles on the children’s faces and the gratitude from the community made all the effort truly worthwhile and meaningful. - La Yaung & Nammon

It was nice that the students at Pinkaew School still gave us a warm welcome, and let us have a good time with them again . - Le'pain
It was a privilege to visit Pinkaew School again, bringing gifts and playing games with the children. It’s amazing to see how much they’ve grown since last year’s community service residential, and it’s truly rewarding to be part of their lives.” - Ms Reid
