This village school was fun. They have installed solar heating in the field behind the school and they also grow their own vegetables. They compost too and use this to make the land more fertile. The school was Buddhist and had about 220 children ranging from year 1 to 12. We chatted a lot with the teachers and children and got to understand some of their problems and successes. One being that we took them CDs of USA songs and they had no player. Well guess what? Elizabeth, Jill and I went out and bought them one. It is a trade off - an elephant ride at the hotel or sharing with children. A no brainer.xox
