Twenty-five years ago, ML Tri was already encouraging students to learn outside of the classroom. Long before the outdoor education program or the farm, even before the campus was taking shape, he designed a floating classroom on the Chao Phraya River. This weekend staff past and present celebrated this unique program with a reunion. Stories were retold, memories shared and a warm feeling of how the Barge Program has influenced thousands of people spread out around the world was felt by everyone. The boat is now moored on the Traidhos Ko Kret Learning Centre – the newest part of our program.
