Seven members of the small group of eight competed with
students worldwide on written examinations for overseas placement. As a
result, six qualified for an interview, and four subsequently won coveted

aims to provide students in higher education with international technical
experience relevant to their studies. Around 6,000 students from more than
80 countries worldwide are selected by IAESTE annually for training outside
of their home countries. The program also strives to offer “cultural
enrichment” for qualified students and their host communities.
Worapath Haetanurak has won overseas placement in
Germany, and Ms. Euam Chantarasombat will be trained in Poland.
Patcharada Duangurai is headed for Brazil, South America,
and Chaipat Sae-heng will be placed in the United States.

Congratulations to all third year engineering scholars at Asian U for
their achievements.
The Story of the White elephant
As told by Millie Kershaw
age 10yrs
Once upon a time there was a rich and wealthy king who
lived in Siam. He kept a rare white elephant in his palace grounds. One day
his servant disobeyed him and the king sent him back to his family with no
job. With the servant the king sent his white elephant as an unwelcome gift
so the poor servant had no choice but to look after this rare and sacred
animal. He spent all his money on food for the white elephant and did not
have enough money to feed his family and eventually they all died.
Some people think of a white elephant as being the sign
of a burden, unwanted and useless but some think it means a special gift.
That is how the white elephant stall came along, selling unwanted gifts of
all different kinds.
At this year’s Care For Kids children’s fayre on
September 12th once again at the Diana driving range we will be having a
white elephant stall.
If you have anything you wish to donate please contact
Diane Connelly 06 562 2586 or Karyn Walker 01 86 22 632.
