In November 2015, alongside three of my university friends, we travelled to Baan Nam Khem located in Phang Nga, Thailand to volunteer through GVI teaching English to the local community and orphanage.Unfortunately Baan Nam Khem was hit by the 2010 Boxing Day Tsunami, and the village is still recovering. I am incredibly grateful for this experience, not only due to it furthering my understanding for how students learn and understanding how to differentiate, but because it allowed me to realise that there is always a positive light even in the darkest of situations. I hope to return to Baan Nam Khem in the future.
