We're back? :(
After more than 17 hours of travelling, we have come back to Bermuda to the happy and familiar faces of our family and friends. However, nothing can compare to the things we have experienced in Thailand. To see the children in Thailand happy for something as simple as a beanie baby, is something I will never forget. Sometimes I imagine how hard it must be for some of them to have gone through losing family members, parents and people close to them, but I don't think that I can come close to imagining how they feel. I went to Thailand in hopes that I could make a change in their lives, but they have done that for me. I miss Thailand because of how unique it is and how comfortable it felt to be there, it's like a home away from home. If I am able to return, what an experience that will be. Without so much support from sponsors, teachers, parents, friends and students we wouldn't have made it to Thailand. Thank you all for this opportunity!

Hey, Annefa.
I couldn't have said it any better. I as shopping at Modern Mart this afternoon and I had this real sense of loss - like I left a part of me in Thailand.
I am going back for sure! I am already thinking of potential programmes that we can bring there to assist the people of Koh Phi Phi develop their English Language Skills...
Good Night!
Yeah I feel so empty. Everytime I think about Thailand I get so nervous, I have the weirdest feeling in my stomach. I miss it so much... but you know what, developing their language skills would greatly help them because they would be able to work in different industries. Like tourism for example, you need some knowledge of english to work in the tourist industry. English would open up opportunities for them. Also, I was thinking of education, maybe if they don't have the opportunity to finish school they can go to a class or something to learn about something specific, maybe like a learning center or something. I don't know...I want to get rid of this feeling in my stomach but yet I don't, because I want to remember it, you know?
