The kids at the Sri Sangwan Khon Kaen school for children with disabilities produced this stop motion animated dance video for the class Yui and I are teaching. The titles are about the need to dance to improve your health. I like it not just for their work but for the awesome remix of the The Clash song Rock the Kasbah. Nice work.  (Note: At the end of March 2010 Yui and I showed this video we made a few months earlier to some members of a committee for public health and they were quite moved by it – especially the shot of the boy seen above making the Bua Loi – and it may have helped promote our future projects in aiding people with disabilities. ) This is another of our Thai dessert cooking classes for the kids at the Sri Sangwan School for children with disabilities. The Bua Loi has a kinda Gummi Bear texture and is made with natural ingredients – fruit for flavor and flowers for coloring. Music is both a Thai and Jazz version of the children’s classic “If You’re Happy and You Know it” – the Thai version by my wife and the jazz version is by David Leonhardt from the album “Jazz for Kids”. ![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=60290dfc-8676-4471-81c3-9e870472bba7) A cooking class on making Krong Kran, a Thai dessert that Yui and her aunt taught to the kids at the Sri Sangwan School for children with disabilities in Khon Kaen. The colors and flavors of the dessert were from flowers and plants (my contribution was to collect the blue flowers from the bushes outside our house). The result was a very chewy Gumi Bear-like candy that we sprinkled on some awesome local ice cream. The recipe is kinda hard to put down on paper but very simple. Music in the video is Bach Concerto #4 in A performed by Iona Brown Academy of St Martin in The Fields. ![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=595192d6-fffe-4840-9654-48ee629f7025)
Yui, B’Vee and I went over to the Sri Sangwan School for children with disabilites yesterday and helped teach a class to the students in Thai dessert making – we used natural flavors from plants to color and flavor a simple gelatin candy that we added to some awesome locally made ice cream – the kids liked to play with the dough and make it into a shell-like shapes before boiling it for a minute. I will have some video of the day on the site soon. Nice seeing the kids again on Yui’s and my 2 month anniversary. ![Reblog this post [with Zemanta]](http://img.zemanta.com/reblog_e.png?x-id=95e5532c-c695-4d9d-9f78-15c34a83200b) |
