Day 16 - Kindergarten
Started off the week at the orphanage again, we didn't sleep in today since we were going to go to the kindergarten today.
We woke up at around 8:30am, had breakfast quickly and cycled to the kindergarten. It was raining a little this morning so we had our ponchos on when we cycled there.
I left my SD card at home, so I took photos at the kindergarten with Francisco's phone instead. I think they turned out pretty well.
After doing morning exercises and singing the national anthem with the kids we separated into different classes again. This time I was upstairs with Ella, helping out the teacher with the slightly older kids.
After Ella finished teaching the kids the English names of the fruits, the older volunteer couple came in to teach the kids more English, so we left to help out other classes.
At 11am we helped the kids out with lunch like we usually do.
The younger kids have lunch a little earlier since the older kids come down for their lunch at around 11:20am.

Everyone paid attention

Checking in on Frank and Emilia's room
They also helped with cleaning the room
We also met another volunteer from England, Katie. She's 18 and she came here alone to volunteer during her gap year. She knows Kun A from the orphanage so she's staying with the kids at the orphanage during her stay.
Katie and Don in the younger kids room
We played with the kids since they had finished their morning lessons
Kids took a liking to Don's hat
and his back.
Yikes
Also liked playing with Katie's hair

After lunch, we put them to sleep before we leave
Day 16 - Khao Lak Night Market
We left for the night market at around 5:30pm so we could start before it got too dark.
In the back of the pickup truck
One of the police boats that was washed ashore when the tsunami hit
Had a lot of charts documenting the number of lost and deceased people.
Also sold souvenirs since entrance was free.
Also had lots of photos of the disaster, including newspaper clippings
Then at around 6:30pm we left for the night market about 3 mins walk away from the museum.
It's a bit dark since I only started taking photos at around late 7pm.
Sold pretty much what you'd expect from a night market
Fresh produce
Clothes, both original and counterfeit
Small bars and restaurants
Was a pretty big market since Khao Lak is a tourist village
More souvenirs
Food stalls
We got back at around late 9pm and got ready for tomorrow at the orphanage.
