Redemptorist School for the Blind Principal Aurora
Sribuapan and patronage chief Chucheep Saisawad led three blind students
to the Woodlands Resort on November 30 to thank Sutham Phanthusak for
sponsorship of their trip to the World Boy Scouts Conference in late
July.
Aurora told Sutham that Her Majesty Queen Silvia of
Sweden paid a special visit to the blind scouts, much impressing the
youths. The trip, she said, gave the boys a lot of knowledge and gave
them their first taste of dealing with wintry weather.
Kittichach Wimolwan, scout leader for the
Redemptorist School, said the Swedish trip was an excellent experience
for the youngsters to help them exchange cultural knowledge with scouts
from around the world. They considered it, he said, a once-in-a-lifetime
treat.
