The deadline for applicants to Thailand this Spring term is January 11th. He was informed it will be 2 to 4 weeks till he hears back regarding his acceptance. Meanwhile, he rec'd a Thai-English dictionary and phrase book for Christmas that he can begin studying (just as soon as he finishes studying for his upcoming SAT on January 23rd).
We would like to thank several contributors who are helping to make this adventure a reality through their support in December. Thank yous this month go to: Bill Whiskeyman, one of Cooper's uncles; Anne Marie Zelner, a college friend of Cooper's mom (Seton Hill Univ., Greensburg, PA); and especially to D.W. Gregory, one of Cooper's aunts. You can read more about playwright D.W. at her website, http://www.dwgregory.com .
In the meantime, if you have thought about contributing to Cooper's global learning experience and haven't done so yet, it isn't too late!
