Hello Dear friends
My job and my weekend 5/10/08
My job is building playgrounds for migrant schools. In the Mae Sot area they have more than 50 migrant schools and we just finished building the playgrounds for 3 schools in about three months . Now we are building the playground for Hsa Thoo Lei school. The school is high school and the biggest school in Mae Sot, so the playground is quite big. We are building for them two playgrounds, one playground is for the nursery school and the other one is for the middle school.
Usually we are working with volunteers from abroad, but now we are working with volunteers from a special migrant post-ten school in Mae Sot. They are 24 student volunteers. They came to work with us for a half a day for a week when they have school. They are many ethnic groups from Myanmar and it’s very good we work together. Some of them are my friends from different camps but we haven’t met in a long time, so it’s a good thing for us to have a chance to work together and meet again. When we are finished with our job in the evening and we play volleyball with the students at Hsa Thoo Lei school. It is fun.
Last weekend on Saturday we made three solar hot water systems, but now we haven’t finished them yet. This week we haven’t had time to finish them, so maybe next week. Usually during the weekend we go to play Ultimate Frisbee with people who work for NGOs and some volunteers. We go to play at a Thai school because they have a good football field. We are happy together and play together.
Today I went to Mae La camp with my friends and to visit my brothers because some of my brothers live at the camp. I also went to visit my pastor, but when we went to the camp one of the Thai authorities came and talked to us and said, “You can’t go in the camp. If you want to go, you should go to the office and get permission”. Then we couldn’t go to see my brothers and instead we visited another side of the camp and met some of my old friend there. Then we went back to Mae Sot.
I had a good weekend,
I hope all of my friends had a good weekend too.
Best regards,
SAW THA WAH.
