ReportThe K International School Habitat for Humanity Global Village team left Narita airport on May 27 for Lampang Thailand and returned on June 5, 2007. The worksite was approximately a 40 minute truck ride from the Hotel, and was in a small village in a rural rice growing area. With 16 volunteers, we had the responsibility of building two houses, which were approximately 20-30 metres from each other. At the worksite, there was one cement mixer and an adequate supply of hoes and shovels, although a few more wuld have been preferable.

The Lampang volunteers were very helpful and supportive through out the trip. Drivers took us out at night (for a small charge) to see some sights and markets. Because meals were so cheap, we could have (and should have) gone to a few more expensive places to eat, because five of our students had to be hospitalized with food contamination. The source was unknown. The hotel, the Regent Lodge Hotel, was clean and simple, with basic hot showers and air conditioning. Their food was excellent as waa their customer service. It was good value for meney.

The visit to the local school was very enjoyable. The students there put on some entertaining performances and were extremely friendly, as were the teachers. The students went to an elephant conservation centre and found it quite enjoyable. We decided not to go too far from the town in case some more students had a stomach ailment.

To summarize, the trip, even with the time spent in the hospital, was very enjoyable and everyone felt it was well worth it. The students worked very hard and were made to feel very comfortable by the affiliate staff. I highly recommend Lampang as a Global Village destination.
