Round Square Report on Thailand Project

Round Square schools around the world were interested to hear the latest report from the Regent's School in Thailand on the Laem Tong International Community Resource Centre Project on Ko Phi Phi Island.

Here is an extract which reports on Stage 6 of the project, in which Cobham Hall was involved.

Stage 6 of the project was successfully completed during the third week of October. Two Round Squares Schools worked together on this stage of the project; these were Regent’s Pattaya and Cobham Hall School from the United Kingdom. Both schools sent a reasonably large working party making up a total of about 35 students and five teaching staff. There was much heavy lifting involved and carrying of sand, gravel and cement to the work site from the beach. There is always much relief when the local resort tractor is kindly made available for a day! The large concrete cylinder rings looked strange on the golden Laem Tong beach but they were eventually moved up to the project and the distinctive water tanks were constructed. The students also had to do wire work and set the frames for further concreting and construction of the centre. The two schools worked superbly together and genuine friendships were made throughout the project with over 10 nationalities being represented. Many thanks to Cobham Hall for their participation and superb effort of raising 170,000 Thai Baht through their UK sponsored cycle ride.
