Class at Wide Horizons in Mae Sot (Thursday July 31st)

We spent the morning with Mark watching and helping photograph the Social Entrepreneurship course he is teaching in Mae Sot. I'm so proud of this man. He lights up when he is doing this work. The students are all quietly trying to take in all the new information. The brave ones raise their hand when he asks questions and we reward them with chocolate or Starburst. They know some English but Mark needs to speak slowly and explain everything by using examples to help them understand. He's doing incredible. 

We took a break for lunch at noon and had a wonderful meal of Burmese food with the students. Syler was starting to feel sick. Her and I both have sore throats and she hasn't been sleeping well because of the Jet lag so Kara drove us back to the hotel so she could rest. Caiden and Zenna stayed to help Mark lead the students in some team building and ice breaker games after lunch and to help with the rest of today's class. 

Mark's luggage did not arrive yesterday as we'd hoped so he is wearing the same clothes for the fourth day.  We are calling it his uniform. He also left his phone charger in our Bangkok hotel. Luck is not on his side.
