As we sent our kids packing to school this August, most of us with a great sigh of relief we imagine, one of the topmost priorities on our agenda was to bring the community back together as soon as possible. After months of lockdown, quarantine, cancelled and repurposed travel plans, we were eager to seize the moment and quickly organized ourselves for our first meeting of the school year on September 3. Naturally, food was an important part of our gathering. Several of our Nichada families and a few from downtown joined us for an extensive lunch menu inspired by the culinary traditions of Rajasthan. While we are still awaiting some of our new families to come to Thailand, we have been able to connect with them virtually and are hoping to welcome them in person in the coming weeks. We are excited to jump into volunteer opportunities at school this year and contribute to positive and diverse learning experiences for our students. The ES Intercultural Day, MS Olympics and organizing special treats for our graduating class are just some of the ways we are hoping to continue our involvement at ISB. We look forward to making the most of this year!
