As part of KIS International School's help for the victims of the December 26th, 2004 tsunami, we send a group of teachers or parents down to run workshops at Thai Red Cross Learning for Healing centers about every 6 weeks. Last October, myself and two other teachers from KIS, Pat and Laurie, went down to make some vegetable print pictures and turn some of them into various types of paper airplanes. It was extremely rewarding and eye-opeining to me.
