The warmest welcome back ever!
What an absolute delight to return to Kok Gniew Village
Primary School! GVI Staffer, Sam, had 2
weeks off due to a short holiday in Vietnam then a second week of other school
commitments so missed two Kok Gniew classes.
Volunteers told Sam the students had been asking about me.

When I walked up the hill to the school the kids were all
waving enthusiastically! I heard
choruses of my name being called. How
chuffed was I? So special and so
rewarding for me personally, but also a testament to the village’s appreciation
of GVI for our teaching.
We got stuck into the first class and I was so impressed
with the progress of the students. And
their persistent enthusiasm (after the English charm may have warn off!) was
terrific to witness! The second class
with Year 5 was extra special! Students
told me they missed me (in Lao of course)!
Too sweet! But again, I was most impressed by how well they’re all
doing! They’re getting so much better at
comprehending both vocab and grammar but also activity and language game
instructions – I guess they’re getting used to our style of teaching English,
and the results are showing!

So all in all a great pleasure and honour to return
there. Hopefully our brief absence over
Lao New Year won’t impact too much. We
all look forward to our next class – volunteers, staff and students alike!
