Greetings from PPDD Australian Volunteer for Light School…….

Hello, my name is Dale Bromley. I am 25 years of age from Adelaide, South Australia.
From a young age I have always been curious as to what lays beyond our own shores.
At the age of 19 I moved interstate which I felt was the basis/starting point of what could be a wondrous journey. Indeed I would have to say that its still early stages…
My journey to date has seen me through Latin America, Western Europe and parts of Asia where I have dabbled in volunteer work, studied various cultures, language, their political history etc. I am currently working in Mae Sot, Thailand for a new school by the name of ‘Light School’. This is my second time here on the Thai-Burma border, I am completely taken with the current political, ethnic status of Myanmar and am thus here to put in my efforts/knowledge into what I hope will see these children and their teachers have the chance to grow a life that I feel all should be entitled to. My main objective is to teach the teachers themselves English from there ideally they can move toward passing it onto the children themselves.

My previous studies/positions have included landscaping, hospitality, sports massage, anatomy and physiology and some other holistic approaches to health, well being…
Different fields, although teaching these people I must say is as comfortable as I have ever been with my work/studies in previous years, stages of my life. There is absolutely paramount to be learned from these people, I would not like to take anything away from this. I feel we do although have maybe more legs to stand on, on an educational level, just one of many things we have to share with/offer the less fortunate…

I am more than excited about my coming months here at ‘Light School’ and am certain that my services shall be received with open arms as i will embrace their presence, teachings....
