This week it was Nus Birthday and the day turned out to be quite special.

First bonus was that Brendan kindly took us all out to lunch at our favourite Kow Soi restaurant on the Sarapee/ Samoeng Rd.

After a wonderful lunch of Kow Soi and Spring Rolls we then went off for a surprise visit to the Night Safari. We had told the children that we were going to try and find more participants for the re-cycle project.

This trip was made possible by our Ukulele playing friend, Craig Moore, who recently donated his fish after suffering in the recent floods.

Both entrance and refreshments as well as Birthday Cake later in the day were all sponsored by Craig. Thanks very much..the kids had a great time:)

We first took the trams around the two “safari routes” on which the children had great fun feeding deer and other animals.

We also took the walking route around the lake before heading home for Birthday Cake and present giving.

So far Nu has had a new T-shirt and a doll set and has a little left from her Birthday budget which she wants to use for new trousers.

Hope you had a great day Nu, we all love you very much and you deserved that day.

 

yong22000The children are still churning out the pictures. Yong is the most enthusiastic and shows a blossoming skill.

I have been selecting the best of the drawings by all the children, along with the best photos to date, with the intention of producing postcards and greetings cards that will be on sale soon in our online shop which is being worked on by our webmaster Ally. Having seen the prototype I’m quite excited.

We will also do our best to find some local outlets who may sell these items for us within the local community.

Its getting a bit close for comfort but we will also be seeing if the children would like to produce some handmade Christmas cards.

We have to say a big thanks to Ally for all her hard work and also for now having sponsored our website for the next 5 years as well as donating 1000 baht a month to cover our internet expenses. Cheers Ally.
