Wow - hot hot hot! We've grown accustomed to sweating profusely around each other but not really caring about it. We've been piling all 9 of us including backpacks into the lift at our hotel. When we came back it was out of order.. Oops.

The children are lovely - everything happens so fast. Plans are made and then changed 5 times within the next half hour. We're learning well to work as a team, go with the flow and get on with it. It's been so fun! There's such contrast with people living in squallor in the slum, then a ferrari driving by.. it's odd. But the people are so lovely and welcoming.

Thank goodness for all the sweating and heat - hopefully it will work off one of the 6 meals per day we've been eating! The food is so fresh and delicious ("aroi maak" - very delicious). Last night we had 20+ adults in Ash & Anj's living area eating an aussie chocolate feast.

It's been fun trying to get by without language. The children are just keen to do something so they don't mind. They jump in and get involved with everything. Must go - preparing the resources for tomorrow's craft workshop. Kel xx

P.s. Had my first Thai side-sadle ride on the back of a scooter going across some really busy roads with the shopping on my lap - love it! It's good for the prayer life!
