Wat Kao Sab - 3 weeks of amazing...

What can I say.... I feel that my pictures will have to do most of the talking. The past three weeks training and teaching at Wat Kao Sab have been so rewarding - all around amazing. Certainly more than I'd ever hoped for! These young boys are astounding and it's an understatement to say that we are leaving a piece of ourselves behind with them.
My first day teaching - Thumbs up is universal!

A Monk making bricks - they sell these to earn money for the school.


Their smiles are so genuine.

The boys are all great friends.

I swear these are the smartest, most attentive 14/15 year old boys I've ever met!


Robe Ceremony Sunday - We got to donate money and robes to novice monks and participate in the ceremony - beautiful! Amazing opportunity to give back after graciously opening the school for our use.



Pond - my favorite student! He is so ridiculously smart and precious!
The magnificent drawings of Nina and I done by Pond, Ben & Piel - it was so touching! Us girls and Pond, Ben & Piel - our little Artists!

Our last day, they made us all drawings! We gave them art supplies!
