Summer Campers help to clean Jomtien beach

Jomtien Beach

In March, Asian University opened the first of their two English Summer camps for 2008 with one hundred and forty students. The youngsters were eagerly awaiting the English programme and the many additional educational, social, sporting and fun activities.

Many of the summer campers have expressed an interest in continuing their study, following the camps, either in The College M4, 5 and 6 or in one of the
undergraduate degree programmes offered by Asian University.

Last Sunday the campers went to Jomtien beach to participate in an environmental day. They helped clean up the beach and surrounding areas to
promote social awareness and responsibility within our community. It was a
great day out with support from the local government who provided safety officers to man the beach and surrounds to ensure a happy and safe environment for all concerned.

One of the leading students Mr. Potchara (Booming) who has returned to Asian University Summer Camp for the second year running and is joining ‘The College’ M4 in May had this to say about the day out:

’ When we arrived at Jomtien Beach we started to clean up the beach by collecting the trash and waste for the community (ourselves) and then, we swam in the sea for one and a half hours. That moment was the greatest sea trip in Thailand for me.

Yellow sand and nice wind together with delicious sea food made it great. Our safety was taken care of by the teacher assistants and the local government body. After we finished swimming we went to take a shower and went shopping then returned to Asian University. Thanks for Teacher and Assistant who created this wonderful sea travel for us’!!
