Rong Bong Elementary School is a rural 
school with 120 children from grades K-6. 
There are only 8 teachers in this school. 
Here the older students are performing 
the fingernail dance, which is native to 
Northern Thailand.

Some of the 
kindergartners 
of the school.

Here is the 
cafeteria. Some 
students don't 
have enough 
money for the 
lunch, so the 
teachers help 
out and feed 
them. By the 
way, the 
bathroom was an 
outhouse behind 
the cafeteria. 
The school did 
have a small 
computer lab 
with about five 
online 
computers.

I really enjoyed the reality of this 
school and the love and happiness of the 
children. The Fulbright Foundation made a 
contribution to the school and Usanee, 
our guide, is presenting it to the 
school's principal.
