News from Jack in Bangkok
Written on May 25, 2010 at 4:28 am, by gen
Jack lives in the heart of Bangkok in Thailand so I asked him what it feels like right now given the recent protests and violence.
“A few nights ago I went to the bathroom where the window was open, suddenly I heard shouting in Thai followed by gunshots. I ran into my parent’s bedroom quite scared of what I heard. They urged me to go back to bed and so I did. Everyday is the same now Dad searching the twitter sphere for news and Mum watching CNN, BBC and Aljazeera while talking on the phone to her friends about what they had heard and seen. Currently no one knows what the future holds, but school is closed so it can’t be all bad.” – Jack, May 2010

Meet Jack – from Thailand
Written on April 22, 2010 at 7:33 am, by gen
Hey from camp Eleven! We have added some new kids to the ‘Meet The Children’ page, including Jack, from Thailand.
Check out his page and video here
I first met Jack in 2009 in Ayutthaya Thailand thanks to Eva and Michelle at Elephant Stay. In March 2010 we went back to visit Jack now aged 13 and Goh, aged 12.
It was great to catch up with with the boys, their family and friends, and of course the elephants. A big thanks to Eva and Michelle for introducing us to Goh and Jack, and for their continued efforts in making a difference in these beautiful elephants lives.

The first time I have cut an 11-year-olds hair
Written on March 12, 2010 at 6:16 am, by gen
Jitter from Kerala, India, asked me to give him a haircut last week. (Trusting young man!) I also gave 4 of his brothers haircuts! It was a beautiful morning and location to get scissor happy.
What do you think?
Jitter is slowly waking up, early morning start.
I like stopping half way for some Mohawk…
Awake and happy (Phew!)
Time for school.
Wait until you see Jitter’s dance moves! More updates coming soon.
Meet Jamira, from Australia
Written on February 24, 2010 at 5:35 pm, by gen
Introducing our first 11 year-old from Australia, Jamira! We were lucky enough to be invited to her 11th birthday party recently. It was a (super) hot summers night in Carlton, Melbourne, where Jamira lives (just up the road from me!) The temperature reached 39 degrees celcius and Jamira and her friends sure know how to party.
This is my first time shooting I AM ELEVEN on home soil. Stay tuned for more about Jamira.
