Thai Girls Become ‘Kiwis’ Pupils from Suksanaree School, a large secondary school for girls in Thonburi, Thailand, chose New Zealand as their ‘country’ in a UNESCO sponsored exhibition, and asked the New Zealand Embassy
for help. Posters, information material and replicas of Maori artifacts were provided, and an officer of the Embassy visited the school to show films and to talk to the pupils. Mrs Mel Taylor (née Georgina Bristowe), wife of the Deputy Director of the SEATO Public Information Office, taught the girls Maori action songs and stick games, which were performed throughout the two-day exhibition. They made their costumes themselves, and their exhibit, called ‘Kiwi Corner’, was a great success.
