Intro to Community Service Thailand

My trip to Thailand impacted my life forever, and made this summer the most memorable experience of my life yet! The Rustic Pathways staff, along with the students I met throughout my trip had the greatest impact on me. I've never laughed harder, or met so many great people in one place. In the program we did a whole variety of different things to greater the community, as well as meet many of the locals! We helped plant rice, (they don't call it the rice fields base for nothing!), helped deliver food to local Thai people, went to the local schools on many occasions to help teach english some "head, shoulders, knee's and toes!" is always a good one! We also helped teach swimming and also helped the school by doing some much needed painting! One of my favorite projects with the village health, we gave diabetes test to locals. I felt that our group made a big impact! Not only that but it had a great impact on me. I learned a lot about myself as well as others and a lot about Thailand, the land of smiles, and in my opinion one of the best countries to visit, and go make a difference! Awesome program I'd recommend it to anyone who's open to try a lot of new things!
