Legacy Letter November 2014

Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, At Legacy Foundation Leadership Training Center here in Chiang Mai, we just completed a very special project. Four young ladies were sent by the Royal Palace to participate in an intensive English training program for six weeks. All four work at Queen Sirikit’s SUPPORT Foundation museum displaying the “Arts of the Kingdom.” This museum is housed in the royal Ananta Samakom Throne Hall, part of the royal complex in Bangkok. They have already graduated with degrees from Kasetsart University in Bangkok and have had some English training. The intensive English language curriculum was designed by our volunteer teacher Julia Stewart, who also taught the classes. Julia herself took part in an intensive crash course and received a TESOL (teach English to speakers of other languages) certificate from Cornerstone University. The young ladies not only had classroom instruction, but participated in real life experience as well by going out into the public and practicing English with Western tourists. They also took part in other classes taught at Legacy (Advanced English, Public Speaking, Sports, and even Sabbath services). The aim was to boost their conversational skills as well as their confidence.

IN THIS LETTER: 1. U.N. Recognizes a Sovereign Palestinian State 2. Burmese Translation of Sabbath booklet almost ready to print. Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers, Palestine is one giant step closer to being recognized by the United Nations as a sovereign member state.
In a vote by the U.N. General Assembly on November 29, by an overwhelming margin, Palestine entered the U.N.
