The Best Christmas Present Ever!!!


SawadeeKa, Planet Earth!

It has been far too long since I last posted on our Blogsite and I sincerely apologise to you all. But I have some good news...
After a long and excruciating amount of time, Mr. Napier, our Head of School, has agreed to support our school's continued participation on Round Square International Service Projects to the beautiful island of Koh Phi Phi Don in Thailand.
Our incredible & supportive partnership with fellow Round Square School, The Regent's School in Pattaya, Thailand, now has the "Green Light" to continue the work that we began last June/July 2006 on the island of Koh Phi Phi Don, and specifically at Bann Koh Phi Phi School. Plans are already under way to continue to serve the community from Koh Phi Phi Village, as well as begin an exciting Service Project at Bann Laem Tong School at Laem Tong Bay on the northern tip of the island.
I can't go into much detail now, but I can assure you all, you'll want to keep checking us out as we progress closer and closer to our Service Project dates (late June, 2007), and of course to follow our progress while we are on the island and after we return to our own island-home, here in Bermuda!
One exciting new change will be that 'Sawadee Bermuda!' will have a Sister Blogsite so that both The Bermuda High School for Girls (Bermuda) and The Regent's School (Thailand) can jointly share their experiences on one Blogsite. We hope that this new Blogsite will be used year after year as other Round Square Schools from around the world venture to Koh Phi Phi Don to serve the Community and experience the wonder and beauty of Thailand, its Culture and its People. This new Blogsite will be named, 'Sawasdee Koh Phi Phi!' (Hello Koh Phi Phi!) and plans are already under way to have it up and running early in 2007. When it goes live, I will announce it on this Blogsite and then ALL communication for our up and coming 2007 Round Square Thailand Service Project will be posted to 'Sawasdee Koh Phi Phi!'

Well, that's it for now. I'll be sure to post again soon.

For those of you that celebrate a Holiday at this time of the year, Happy Holidays. For those of you that don't, have a great evening!
