As I had finished writing my post for today and elegantly presented lady in her sixties sat across from me. She explained to the waitress that she had send back a dish because it was too spicy hot and her stomach could not handle it.
Somehow our eyes met and we started chatting. I joined her at her table and found out she had spend a considerable time teaching English in Ecuador . Her base there was the lovely city of Quenca, home to about 7000 Ez-Pats I’m told.
She had also spend time in Vilcabamba in Ecuador where I spend most of my time when I was there last month.
She told me about a foundation she has said up to educate adults in Thailand. In fact she was off today for a month of teaching that she has volunteered to do with a former student of hers. Many of the adults have only completed up to grade seven because the country has free education until then she explained to me.
Her website is www.shanrefugeeschools.org
