Service Program Service

Grade 6 Service Projects

G reetings from the 11 Little Ducklings and 1 Bush group! We are a sixth grade service group consisting of 12 members (Budh, Ren, En-laye, Keit, Hakao, Thunwa, Haru, Sally, Pat, Tatar, Raffi, and Minnie). Our project was to raise funds to purchase educational equipment to donate to Baan Nok Kamin Foundation - an orphanage.

Our experience at the orphanage can be described in one word: Rewarding. Since our school greatly cares about outside communities and would always be happy to lend a helping hand, our group felt a feeling of immense pride to be participating in a project which will not only make an impact to society, but also people’s lives as a whole.

Our group has met our fair share of problems regarding teamwork and communication. But out of conflict, a new and better hope always arises. However young you are, please remember that age doesn't matter; Not everyone can change our life, but we can change everyone’s lives!

Hi, our service group is called PPICKS, and for part of our G6 Service Project, we interviewed Khun Alongkot, who is the Director of Thai Elephant Research and Conservation, and an expert of marine life, and Khun Alex, founder of EEC camp, Khun Van and lastly Khun Dream. They gave us lots of information about the oral and why it is a very important part of the marine ecosystem.

Following this, we went to Samaesan, an island in Thailand that is known as the island with crystal clear water to be filled with corals. There we met Doctor Apple, who planned activities for us, such as cleaning the coral, and removing algae off snails that help clean the coral. We arrived on the day that the coral eggs are starting to hatch. The hatching of coral eggs is a one day a year opportunity, and it won’t happen again all year. We not only learned more about the growth of corals, but also helped care for them. This opportunity was very special because a new generation of corals will grow into a beautiful reef, and we got to take part in that.

Even though going to Samaesan is a small action for the whole world, it surely reflects back to the community. We believe that the action we have done in Samaesan will give us wonderful and great inspiration to continue raising awareness of coral reef conservation.
