Next week, a group of 9 students from the International School of Bangkok will travel deep into the forested highlands of Huay Puling.  In a cluster of villages less than 60 kilometers from the Myanmar border, they will spend a week experiencing the life-ways of the Karen people, studying traditional trade work and modern political ecology, and exploring their own leadership potential on a CMRCA Global Leadership Expedition.

These students have chosen to dedicate their Global Citizenship Week to expanding their perspective on their home country.  The program kicks off tomorrow with a day of leadership training and orientation in Chiang Mai.

Check out these photos from our recent scouting trip to Huay Puling.  We can’t wait to continue exploring this amazing region!  Stay tuned for a report on what it means to be a Global Citizen…
