A Christmas Eve note from Paul - our in country agent
We all caught up for dinner again last night and learnt a bit more Thai (counting, shopping and some other basic words last night)
Everyone is good.
What have they been doing?
James - visiting the sick kids in hospital, child care in a village, tutoring English language, riding an elephant and last weekend he went to Chiang Mai.
Jane - research for her university assignment, delivering blankets to the Free Schools project, riding an elephant and last weekend she went to Chiang Mai.
Ashely - Teaching English at school, child care in a village, shopping at the Night Bazaar, riding an elephant and last weekend she explored Chiang Rai.
Highlights?
James loves visiting the kids in hospital and he particularly connected with one very clever girl who is very sick with acute lymphatic leukaemia. Everyone enjoyed the elephant riding and the Christmas carols sang by some hill tribe kids at Mirror a couple of nights ago. The volunteers are going to go out Christmas carolling too, but tonight they are going to a house warming at Thellie's. Jane also really enjoyed the conversations she had whilst visiting the Free Schools project.
Picture attached is a picture of the waterfall they visited last week and also of the elephants at Baan Ruammit.
