This last weekend we were blessed by a team from Michael & Hope’s home church at Shades Mountain Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. Though they were only with us for two days before going to Chiang Mai, they were a huge help! Despite sleep deprivation and jet lag, they were eager to go with us to Baan Oon Rak (BOR) and spend time with the kids on Saturday afternoon and evening. We sang songs together and played a game like we would any Saturday, but this time the children had something special planned for their guests. They performed traditional Thai and Chinese dances for the team. They have worked very hard practicing these dances for the Christmas program and they did a beautiful job!
The rest of the day was spent doing different activities and cooking-out! With Halloween just around the corner in the US, we taught the kids how to carve pumpkins and make masks! Team members partnered up with the kids to help them with the activities. Pumpkin carving would have been a disaster without the team! They were so great with the kids and everyone had a fun time! We really appreciate the team for making our kids feel loved and for making such a big task like carving pumpkins possible for the children at BOR!
We at NTIM want to thank everyone who invests in the lives of our children at Baan Oon Rak! Your praying, giving, and going matter to our kids! For a write up on the ministry of Baan Oon Rak see the link at: https://gontim.org/main/what-we-do/rescue-children
I posted pictures from Saturday on the support group page on facebook. I hope you can take time to look at the pictures and see how much fun we had!
Love,
Kara Davis
