KIS Welcomes Scott Riley and the Inspirational Prasit Hemmin

KIS Welcomes Scott Riley and the Inspirational Prasit Hemmin

We welcomed Scott Riley and the inspirational Prasit Hemmin, bringing to life 'The Floating Field: How a Group of Thai Boys Built Their Own Soccer Field'. 

Their journey from Koh Panyee enlightened us through workshops, read-alouds, and an engaging Q&A session. It wasn’t just about books; the football clinics, led by Prasit, united reading and sports, showing our students the power of both. There's nothing like fostering a love for reading while inspiring some on-field passion! 

It was a day filled with stories, skills, and lots of smiles.

Scott shared the incredible story of the resourceful community of Koh Panyee. Prasit, co-founder of the field and Panyee FC, gave us a first-hand account of the spirit and importance of football for the villagers. 

Thank you, Scott and Prasit for visiting KIS and inspiring us all
