Aug 21 2011
Wayne went to Thailand as a CUSO volunteer when he was 21 years old. He taught English in a Teachers College, in a small village south of Bangkok. After his service with CUSO, he stayed for 4 more months to build a school. He went back 40 years later and the building was still there. He also had the chance to see some of his students again. He is still very much involved in international development and does fundraising for “Habitat for Humanity” here in Vancouver.
