Teaching Novice Monks in a Buddhist Monastery

---

Todays grand finale - giving an English lesson to novice Monks in a Bhuddist monastry school.

I only wish I had the words to convey how good this whole orientation experience has been. Far beyond any expectations that I might have had, and what a great bunch of people, both staff & felow volunteers.

The head master of the temple school
He told me afterwards that some of my words were pronounced slightly wrong. I meant to say that my name is Shaun & I am 47 years old. I actually said, I am a crimianal aged 77 years old. (apparantly the word for criminal is very similar to Shaun). I wondered why the class were sniggering.

The team.
A great way to end the course. Ready for action at our various assignments.

I suspect that the buddhist monks will learn all the essential words like names of different parts of the motorbike!
