Internship: 2017 Jul-Aug

Internship Life of Asma

HI ! I’m  Asma. I’m an Internship student at VSA organization for 2 months. I started from June and finished on July. The reason that I chose here is I want to practice my English skill. During I worked here I stayed at apartment in Hatyai. I start to work at 09.00 am and finish at 05.00 pm. Every morning I toke the local public bus to go to the office. It takes time about  15-20 minutes.

My work at the office is about documentary and as coordinator. Someday I go out with volunteers. Every Monday and Tuesday ,we went to the VSA organic farm and another farm. We mixed the soil for seeding and make the fences. Every Wednesday and  Thursday, we went to Wat khoksmankhun school as translator between foreigner volunteers and student. Volunteers went to this school for teach English.

We teach primary 1 and primary 2. When we were the school, the children come to us and hug. They always called us “teacher…teacher…teacher…” it’s so grateful. During teaching it’s so hard to control them because they always walk and play in the classroom and I told them “sit down”, ” be quite”.  I’m so tired but I’m very happy. And every Friday, We might stayed at the office visited another farm and visited another volunteers who live in Songkhla.

On June, there are 8 volunteers. There are 5 from France (Bastien, Adrien, Guillaume, Loic and Lea), 1 from USA (Ana), 1 form Japan (Yuta) and 1 from Thai (Lookkate).

There are 3 from Spain (Almu, Eva and Alvaro), 2 from Italy (Silvia and Guilia), 1 from France (Greg), 1 from Check Republic (Eliska) and 1 From Hongkong (Mariam). Glad to meet you all.
