BB Thailand CIP Trip (March)

During the March Holidays, a group of 15 Boys together with 6 Officers and teachers visited Thailand (Bangkok & Korat) to conduct a CIP Programme for the underpriviledged as well as for a group of Thailand students keen to learn English.

The Boys assisted in the building of a school fence as well as entertained the orphans there with Balloon Sculpturing and teaching of simple English Songs.

In addition, the Boys visited Korat, a province north-east of Bangkok, to conduct an English Camp for Thai students from a local neighbourhood school. They also helped as facilitators in the team-building and confidence-building games conducted by the officers/teachers.
