Why?
Why?
In the summer of 2001, our good friends Ted & Susan from Project Amigo in central Mexico taught conversational English to medical personnel through a Rotary International volunteer program.
Ted & Susan asked us to
join them in a similar adventure in the summer of 2003. As Peg retired
from teaching in mid June, she was now free for such an adventure and Keith was
willing and anxious to go. They flew out of San
Francisco International on
June 30th, stayed over one night in Tokyo (staying at the same hotel as Peg's FMF
group in 1999), then on to Thailand. They volunteered for 2
months in a conversational English program at Boromarajoni College of
Nursing near Ban Pong, Ratchaburi
Province, 1½ hours west of
Bangkok. They expected to work mostly with nursing students, but also with
some doctors, nurses and pharmacists. A third
month was spent becoming more acquainted with the various areas of this
fascinating country.
