Community Learning Center Update

Thanks to many people who donated to our PCPP grant on the Peace Corps website, the "CLC" is beginning to take shape. Five computers, tables, chairs, and storage cabinets have been purchased. In addition, two air-conditioning units (a rarity in rural Thailand schools) were purchased by a catholic priest who saw the center and was very impressed. English learning programs are being installed on the computers to facilitate language acquisition. Games that foster logical thinking have also been purchased. The next purchase is a set of bookshelves and display shelf that will house easy-to-read English books and pamphlets and books (in Thai) that give information about HIV/AIDS, post-secondary training options and career opportunities.
