Over the long weekend of the National Mother’s Day 2024, a group of older kids gathered to learn how to prepare deep fried minced pork toasts.. Guided by Teacher Nat, the team of cooks enjoyed the activity starting with the preparation of necessary equipment and ingredients, the techniques of making healthy snacks with little oil, the serving of the toasts to younger kids and department staff. They also had the opportunity to strengthen their relationship, esp. between kids in primary school and the older ones in colleges and universities. Thanks and best wishes to Teacher Nat and all concerned..

While preschool kids in levels 1 and 2 in the care of the Pattaya Orphanage are still in quarantine for another week to ensure everyone’s full recovery from the city-wide hand-foot-mouth infections, Teacher Tiew’s team constantly promotes the children’s development through art sessions both within the kindergarten building and outdoor. Through imaginative drawing with colorful chalks, clay molding, and paper cutting, children enjoyed taking part while upgrading their fine motor skills, concentration, hand-eye coordination and better memorizing the Arabic numbers.
