Harrow International school

I just want to say thank you to everyone for your prayers and thoughts again. I received a lovely email from someone at church the other day and it just made me realise again how blessed I am to have such support from a church like Carrubbers and I can tell you, as with everything, nothing here is possible without God being at the centre of what we do, particularly with the government orphanages like Fuang Fah and rachawadee girls and boys. Yesterday was a real demonstration of God at work in CCD's ministry. There have been a team here from all different countries and they are all some sort of engineer. They gave up their time to plan a new build that CCD are raising funds for. It is going to be a vocational training centre for the older children and adults. And one of the engineers said 23years ago the director of CCD said that he wanted to set up this facility and now all that time on, the plans are laid (and look fantastic) and with LOTS of fundraising it should be on the way to being built very soon!

And yes, I rode on the back of a motorbike for the first time on Tuesday night....I vowed I would never get on the back of one over here because the motorbike taxi drivers are a littel bit crazy. But it was a bit of an emergency and it wasn't on the main roads. A guy from home group drove me on his motorbike and where they live is very big wide roads that have sensible (usually western) drivers! So it was fine.

On Wednesday afternoon we took a group of children to Harrow International school. I caught a few action shots of Jew scoring baskets. 

I spent some time on the ward with the children this afternoon. We just took them outside to the covered patio and played with them. I tried doing some positioning with one boy and played the tamborine with him which he foound hilarious particularly when I banged it on his stomach. It is lovely seeing the kids smile and laughing is even better.

So this weekend is when all the summer volunteers arrive. A group of 5 of them will arrive tomorrow night to Sirin house and then my friend and her boyfriend arrive on Sunday night, which I am very excited about, I haven't seen her for over a year, and she is as excited if not more for coming back out to Thailand again. So it's going to be a full house by Sunday. I spent this afternoon making up all the beds and got very very hot doing so!
