Biography of Kai-faar Rotary Youth Exchange Student

Biography of Tanradee SIREELERT or as she loves to be called “Kai-faar”

Rotary Youth Exchange Student from Thailand to Humble/Kingwood, Texas

Kai-faar came to the United States August 13, 2011.  She is a very brave young lady who for the first time left her country for an 11 month stay here in the USA through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program.  Her flights here took over 34 hours.  Rotarians from The Rotary Club of Humble Intercontinental along with her first host family, Kim and James Davitt and their three wonderful kids greeted her at the airport with signs and warm hugs.  Her English was very good and so she immediately began to absorb and immerse herself into our lifestyle and culture.  While she is here she attends Kingwood High School where she is enrolled as a junior. 

Born November 22, 1994 in Thailand.  Her home is in MuangChiangmai in the northern part of Thailand.  Her father Darun works in the liquefied petroleum gas business and is a Rotarian.  Kai-faar’s mother Manuswal is the head of a Soil & Fertilizer Sub-Division. She has an older brother, Jiravej who was recently a Rotary exchange student and went to Canada.  While the current floods in her home country are of concern, for now all of her family is safe and dry.

Before coming here Kai-faar attended Chiangmai University Demonstration School and has completed 10 grades.  In Thailand she studied English for 13 years along with her other subjects.  Kai-faar likes to participate in school activities including dancing, acting, badminton, and service projects. She loves to cook and we are all looking forward to some delicious Thai foods sometime during her stay with us.  She loves to share her Thai culture and she loves to interact with people.  She has a good keen sense of humor and loves to make people laugh.  She is mature for her age and is always thinking ahead.  From her past experiences she usually emerges as the leader of the group.  Being from Thailand she is very respectful.  She listens to learn and knows that through resolving problems she only becomes stronger.

Her dream is to go to business school because she loves interacting with people.  She is today a very good young ambassador who is creating world peace one person at a time.  Realizing her dream to come to the United States, learn and absorb our culture, live with caring, qualified host families is what Rotary Youth Exchange is all about.
