Handbags Made from Plastic Bigs!
Today we had a chance to meet the people from Thai Craft, a local group that use recycled materials to make various hand-made products. The kids were really excited, and seeing what all of their plastic bags could be made into was really amazing. 40-50 regular plastic bags can make 1 really cool handbag! And, believe it or not, it takes about one day to make each handbag.
They will return to ISB next Thursday to meet with our students again. At that point, we hope … plan to hand over 1000 plastic bags to them. Students, and any parents that want to come along, will have a chance to buy one of these hand-made bags for between 150-200 baht, depending on the size and style. If you are interested, they will be at ISB on Thursday from 9:00 - 9:30, and set up next to the kindergarten rooms. Students that plan to buy one should have money at school on that day. It’s great knowing that our collection of plastic bags, which would normally just make its way to the garbage, will go to a good cause.
Also, don’t forget the Grade 3 Elementary Games are next Tuesday after lunch. Hope to see you there …
Have a great weekend!
