Day 12

Day 12, Wednesday the 26th of November, was the last official day of my program. I had been sad for a few days already. I absolutely loved doing this work. This was such a rich experience of sharing and giving for me. Someday, if I make it to the ol' rockin chair, I will always have this… American Artist Abroad, a cultural diplomat for my country. A role given freely, supporting my humanistic ideas and art works. My country, my work, my life, the people of Thailand…it was the sweetest of opportunities and kismet for my life. I really did not want it to end.

So, the last day was spent at Srianagarind Hospital at Khon Kaen University. We worked with about 14 very ill children who were staying in the hospital. The director of their program was a kind and supportive man. Dr. Pope Kosalaraska.

This was also a day when Ambassador John was in Khon Kaen on other business, but stopped by the hospital to lend his support as well.
