It was a bright Monday morning, and Nok was heading to a very special school, the Sufficiency Economy School. She walked with a spring in her step, excited for the day ahead.
As she arrived, she greeted her friends, Tao and Mali. Together, they tended to the school garden, full of vegetables and herbs.
Their first class was about growing rice. Mr. Somchai taught them how to plant rice seeds in the paddy field.
Next, they learned about composting. Mrs. Pranee showed them how to turn food scraps into rich soil.
In art class, they used recycled materials to make colorful decorations for their classroom.
Lunchtime was Nok's favorite. The meal was cooked with ingredients from their own garden.
After lunch, they cared for the school chickens. Nok learned that the chickens helped by eating pests.
Then, it was time for water conservation class. They discussed saving water at home and at school.
Their last class was a group discussion on how to apply sufficiency economy at home. Everyone shared ideas.
At the end of the day, Nok realized how each lesson helped her live a more balanced and happy life.
On her way home, she thought of her new project. She would start a small herb garden on her balcony.
Nok shared her day's experience with her family, hopeful to inspire them with all she had learned.
