First days at work

Here are the first few photos of work. I started work properly on Monday, and am absolutely loving it. Each day seems to be different, I never really know what is going to happen because that seems to be part of the Thai culture that they don't explain things, also I suppose the fact I can't really speak Thai would also contribute to that:) Though saying that we are getting 2 weeks worth of language lessons in the afternoons after work so hopefully that will help. Work is fantastic! In the mornings we pick the children up from the wards then take them back for some music for an hour. They then get a snack and then we shower and change them which is always quite difficult trying to keep them from running away! Then we get to play with them for an hour or so before lunch. The picture above and below is of the wee sensory area that they have in the day care centre. It is really good stimulation for the kids. The little girl lying down in the picture above loved it when I played round and round the garden on her hand! I still haven't grasped all their names yet because they are Thai names and so sound very different from anything that I am used to though I gues with being here for four and a half months I should manage to learn most of them. The teachers are also really nice and helpful though don't speak much English so it is mostly a gesturing communication we have going on at the moment. Will post more photos once I have them. Thank you to everyone who supported me in coming out here, I can tell you it is going to be well worth it working with the children.
