9/24/2017 0 Comments Meet the ism 0917 class...On the left of the photograph is Nathan Kirkegaard. He is from Vancouver, Canada, and is here is Thailand to work with Imagine Thailand as an English teacher. As you could probably guess by the guitar hanging on his back, he is a pretty talented musician, so I am sure will use that as an effective teaching method at some point.
Skipping our lovely tour guide, the next person in the photograph is Shari Johnson. She is from Colorado (which is exciting because one of my best friends lives there, and we support the same baseball team) and is in Thailand to work with Samaritan Creations who we visited the other day. She is going to be working with women coming out of sex trafficking. Skip me, and there is Jenna Forstrom. She is from Portland, Oregon, and has travelled to Thailand specifically for ISM. After ISM finishes, she will be flying off once again, to go to Cambodia. There she will be working for Daughters of Cambodia working with victims of sex trafficking. Her dog Bullet will be flying out to go live with her. I am super excited about that because on one of my border runs I will go visit them! Jenna runs a pretty awesome blog so go check it out http://phnomenaladventures.com. We then have Bev Laing. She is the director of ISM. She and her husband Gary are from Canada, but actually have lived and worked in Cambodia for nearing 8 years I believe. She is a great person to have around, not only is she a valuable teacher, but has good practical advice as well as some incredible stories to share. Nicole Stockley is not pictured above, but she is ISMs internship co-ordinator. She is from Canada, and she, her husband Andrew and their daughter Paige all live in Bangkok full time. They are expecting baby girl number two. Nicole is definitely the person to go to if you need something sorted out. As well as speaking pretty good Thai, they can sort out your problems lickety split. Andrew is the worship director at ISM. Their daughter Paige is very cute, and a little bundle of energy; she without a doubt stands out among the crowd in Asia given her white blonde curly hair and pale complexion.
