Meeting Physical Needs in Khao Lak

We spent two days in two locations, holding a free walk-in medical clinic with Poo and O, a couple of nurses who went as part of our team.  This was extremely popular and we had all the people we could handle both days!

Khao Lak kids...

Just got back from our annual Christmas-time trip to Khao Lak in southern Thailand.  We held a two day free medical clinic and put on late Christmas parties for the children there.  Everyone wants to see the photos of the kids, so here are the best...

Yesterday was Christmas in the Slums.  A large team joined us in Jarurat Community to distribute gift bags, a free meal, lots of fun and games, and an explanation of the Christmas story.  Each year, it is a big event for Jaruat.

Seth is great with the kids.

I counted 153 kids and lots of adults.  We met in the community building in the center of the community.

Preparing gift bags.  The gifts were a little small because so much has been spent on flood relief, but the kids were excited and grateful.

Preparing the meals while the kids are inside enjoying the entertainment.
