This week I spoke to the children about being pleased when we tell the truth, even when telling the truth can get you into trouble. After that, the older children got a handout that spoke about telling the truth and the younger kids were introduced to the letter "A."
Ohm, with his contemplative pose.
Giving treats to kids who could answer questions about the day's teaching. I am NOT above bribery!
Note finds a friend to help him with the music. Note has been such a great addition to the team!
Pin translated for me and is so great with the kids.
Vee. Superman. He does it all.
Helping color.
Hard at work.
A is for Ant. (Which is not easy, because in Thai, that critter is a "mot.")
After Ja Rurat, Vee and I went to another slum community to visit an old woman who is a member at Immanuel, but who is too frail to come to church now. Like Ja Rurat, it is a maze of little one room houses all connected and with a small foot path between the facing fronts of the houses.
I've visited this woman several times before. When we arrived today, she was laying in the footpath in front of the house. Her legs are too spindly for her to be able to walk, so she pulls herself out of her house into this footpath where there is a bit of a breeze. Vee brought her some milk so she'd have a bit of nutrition. She has a grandson I would guess to be twelve years old who cares for her. The boys parents are long since gone and Vee had no idea where they'd gone to. It is just the boy and his grandmother. How they eat and make it from day to day is beyond me. And what happens to the boy when grandma is no longer here, is anyone's guess, too.
