Thai Youth Theatre Festival 2006

The Theatre festival was an absolute hit! It went over extremly smoothly. The kids all had a lot of fun and so did the volunteers. Kids came from 5 different communities around Thailand. The kids aged from 2nd grade all the way up to senior year of high school. So we reached a wide range of children. All of our hard work really payed off. But of course, we could not have done it with out everyone who donated, so thank you so very much for all of your donations!
Here is a picture of all of the volunteers that helped put this festival together.












The festival was held at Payap University in Chiang Mai. Here is a picture of the beautiful chapel that we were privledged enough to do our performances in. The second picture is of the over 200 kids that attended the festival. One group spent a whole 22 hours driving just to get their. It took our group about 5 hours to get to Chiang Mai.
