This little boy is called Pee Tee, he is a lovely, very energetic young boy. He is always running around and getting into everything that he shouldn't. He is very much there, understanding everything he gets told. Sadly, the past month or so, he has been very ill. He was in hospital for almost a month. He had been admitted with having lots of very long seizures I think. I went to visit him in hospital and he wasn't a happy chappy. He was twitching all the time. Having lots of small seizures all the time, and as a result he is unable to eat himself so has been being fed by a tube. When I went to see him, at first I wasn't sure if he was really seeing me which was hard, as he is normally so good at concentrating on you. I stayed with him for a bit. At the beginning of last week he was discharged from hospital and is now in sick ward at the orphange. I was able to go and see him that day with a couple of the Thai staff. He was much the same, still very twitchy and being fed through a tube. He has lost a lot of weight in the last few weeks, which is never good for the children. Just pray that he can be healed of whatever it is that is causing him to have fits all the time and that he can be given the right medication. It would be fantastic to see him back at CCD fit and healthy again, because he loves it, getting to run around and whatever.

Music therapy which is always great fun with the children laughing at our dancing

The physios often bring the children back to the day care centre where they work with them, often I am able to help out, which is great practice for next year.

Drama therapy, this is Lizzy doing her monkey impression, don't know that you can tell all the children are laughing at her!

In the day care centre

Very sadly we are nearing the end of our time in Thailand, we only have another three weeks of work left. This experience has literally been the best experience. The children and staff that I have met are so fantastic. I am loving every moment of my work here. Getting to know all the children and learn each of their specific needs and abilites and getting to work with these lovely children has been wonderful.

One afternoon we got out the keyboard that we have at CCD and had a great fun afternoon playig on it, dancing along to all the songs and the hammering on the keys! A very musical bunch of kids!

The keyboard really was the centre of attention that afternoon, they all got very excited about it.

Playing with a jigsaw with Fah, great fun, trying to slot all the pieces into the correct places with arms flying everywhere but we managed, and several times as well.

Lay, as always smiling for the camera. He loves getting his photo taken, and more importantly seeing the photo that you have taken of him!

It's not often you can catch Botech on camera, he is always on the move, so this is a very rare occasion that he is sitting playing with a game!!!

This is in the sensory room.

Ratchapon (right) always tries to get in here at any available time, he manages to scoot himself across the floor, he loves the sensory room, just lying on the floor staring at all the lights above him.

Music therapy is always great fun, singing as many different songs as we can. Thai and English

This is the soft play room at Rainbow house where the Rachawadee girls and boys went one afternoon. Rainbow house is a fantastic centre for all these children.

we had great fun emptying the ball pool and then the chore of throwing them all back in, the girls found it great fun.
