The first is about books ka. Fulbright Thailand has asked the grantees to bring one or several books they like best to give to the students at the บ้านสวนพัฒนา school and they all had to write something why they liked the book with their signatures for the students to invite them to read ka.
Though it was a Saturday and we didn't get to have the students there with us in the meeting room, each grantee shared his/her thought why they chose them to Ajarn Tong-In and Ajarn Achara as well as the school teachers and staff. I was really touched of all the reasons and basically about what has inspired them from reading the books and how they wished the books could help the students to feel alike ka. What was also amazing was the wide range of book choices ka. It's a truly diverse group that can enable all to learn more about each other and other dimensions in studies and life ka.
A little world of big data is digested delightfully ka!
The second is a food/dessert game they played. It's similar to 'buddy' game and what's different is that each grantee had to try to learn about the buddy quietly and thought of one dish either food or dessert to describe the person.
It was another fun and amazing time I so very much enjoyed ka. It turned out that many thought of desserts more than food. In any case, the explanations showed how much they have tried to learn about their friends. What stood out was that the creativity shone brightly while showing that Fulbright grantees have unique characters and caliber. The selections ranged from ฝอยทอง (Egg Threads) and Black forest cake to ยาแก้ไอตราเสือดาว (cough drops) and ข้าวแช่ (special Thai summer dish), etc.
The selections had sort of one common aspect which demonstrated positively how many 'layers' each one has as all have lots (ของ/กึ๋น) in them to learn from and share with ka. One girl said when she was at her office, she felt she was weird but she didn't feel so when she was with the group! I found it amusing ka....our grantees, junior or senior, sure have their uniqueness to leave others wonder kaaa!
Who we see isn't who we think he/she is ka......lots more to impress me as always ka!
I'm very happy to see that Fulbright Thailand's efforts to help guide them will shape our grantees to be quality contributors to our future in many ways ka!
Cheers.
