The biggest ever Thai-American Cultural Camp was held at Mahidol University, Kanchanaburi Campus, on October 27-28, 2009. The fourth “Get to Know Uncle Sam” two-day camp gave 60 students and teachers from 12 schools in Kanchanaburi, Supanburi, Ratchaburi and Nakhon Pathom a rare opportunity to engage in various interactive, educational activities aimed at promoting understanding of the English language, as well as U.S. society and culture. Assistant Press Attaché Cynthia Brown, Information Resource Officer Wendy Simmons and volunteer Thomas Meyer joined force with English Language Fellow Fidelia “Fuang” Twenge-Jinings and staff from the Cultural Affairs Office and Information Resource Center (IRC) of the U.S. Embassy in Bangkok in guiding the students and teachers through fun and informative English language exercises and activities, beginning with a short costume plays to explain the origin of Thanksgiving Day and the Halloween activities, and a singing contest in which the students sang and danced to such popular American holiday-themed songs as “The Monster Mash,” “Over the River and Through the Woods,” and “Five Little Turkeys.”
