Why English Crazy Magazine?

Thanks for your interest in our upcoming magazine! The magazine will be first a try out version. I am not sure how it is going to work out, since not many students like to read English here. But I believe that we make it interesting and easy for them to read. It may out work someway. I just want to give it a try. By the way, you can read our magazine outline below. What do you think about it?

Last year, I graduated from local university in Ubon Ratchathani and last 5 years I had a chance to join a junior reporter workshop with Nation Junior Magazine, which is a part of Nation Multimedia in Bangkok. And now I already have 10 articles published with Nation Junior magazine and I also contribute my Isaan story online published with www.khaosanroad.com.At university, a group of my friends and I founded the English Crazy Club, which runs English camps for students in rural area of the northeast Thailand (www.englishcrazycamp.blogspot.com) and also a teaching project which welcomes volunteer all over the world to come teaching English in Isaan (www.learn2give.blogspot.com). Since we started our club 5 years already, we have learned a lot from many people that we involved with, we worked with many volunteers from different countries around the globe. We see more world from listening to their storytelling of their trips.
Currently I am partly working for the field station of Institute Nutrition of Mahidol University and a full time as a cultural interpreter for Sweet Mango Tours (www.sweetmangotours.com) in Ubon Ratchathani in the northeast of Thailand.I hope my story about can help you picture why we would like to produce this magazine and how I want it to be like. And that is how my idea has begun!
