Krabi Eco Conservation Project

Last sat was spent with a group of gals at a particular girl school at Bt Timah, ...it was super tiring & zoned out, esp it's after a late night party on fri...have to reach school at 830am, OMG..struggled & reached school slightly late...you know teachers hate to be late.

This expedition takes place 31 May - 9 June at Krabi National Park, objective is to restore the nature walking trail in a national park. So, a class of around 20 girls signed up for this project, all shapes and sizes, quite a cute bunch of girls but none very 'garang' ones...

we did a hands-on session with concrete, cement, mortar at a real work-site..construction foreman & blangedeshi workers was real nice & pro in teaching the gals in mixing & building concrete slabs...the girls have chicken strength, they look so awkward holding the shovel, and cements...

The more recent session talked abt cultural exchanges and also meant to level their expectations of Krabi....they started to panic when they realised 'har, no washing machines how to wash clothes?!'..'oh, we have catered lunch/dinner, can we choose the ingredients cos i dun eat vegetables'..another girl 'i dun eat mushrooms'..and i dun eat chili...' they worried abt this kind of stuff!!!!!

me and fellow facilitator shook heads...and we really wonder are these gals gonna cry/make a fuss or refuse to do anything there? or in the end, are we the ones who are going to do the work?

Next session is to meet the parents...wonder what questions would they ask?
