Note: The lollowlng re- port is by Ginny Harford, ’65, who is presently teaching English in Chiengmal, Than land. she is a participant In the Grlnneil fifth-year abroad program. I guess first in better throw in some of the facts about my job~hern which i found rather inaccessible when trying to dis- cover what the program in- Volved. As i am doing. most of tho Grinnellians who come to Thai- land with the Fifth Year Abroad Program have taught in Chiengmai, This is the second (but by fat the second) largest city in Thailand and is about sou miles north of Bangkok. Some of us have taught at Prince Royal's College (primar- ily a boys’ school except lor the last two years of high school) and some have taught here at Dara Academy (girls' school). Both of these schools include students from kindergarten age through high school. Dara has about 1,700 students. About 90 of these girls live on campus in a dorm. Both Prince Royal's and Dara are mission schools — original» 1y begun by the Presbyterians but now under the Church of Christ in Thailand. This natu- rally puts us closer to the Amer- ican religious society here than to the American military society (which is increasing rapidly). But there is not a great pres- sure toward nny kind of reli- gious activity although I can imagine that someone who ac- tively and loudly disagrees with the Christian religion would find it difficult to Work within the framework of the school. what I am trying to say is that there has been trouble I.“ the past with the religious con- victions (or lack of) of some Grinnell volunteers. Many or the restrictions (such as re- quired chapel) have not been lifted, but anyone who comes must be aware that to work with people most cirectively in lhis framework, there will have to he at least a toler- ance of such things as pray- ers at teachers' meeting, etc. Beyond that nothing is re. quired. As a Grinneil volunteer you would probably live on campus, either in a house with other Thai teachers or perhaps in the. dorm with teachers and stu4 dents. i am living in a room above the'l-iome Ec room. 0n the same floor are about four other Thai teachers, Darlene Keeier, another Grinnellian, and assorted others. The room re- minds me very much of a room I had at camp oncer So, come with the idea that you won’t be living in luxury out not with the idea that you will be living in the wilds of the jungle — as I admit I had pictured at times. Meals can be either Thai or foreign — both of which are provided at the school. The Thai food is prepared in the norm, the foreign food at the home oi a missionary who lives on campus. I am teaching English only 14 hours a week (15 is the normal load) but will be teaching 18 hours when Dar leaves in No vember. I teach the best Eng- lish sections in the 10th, 11th.
