It was said that John and Sally would be free to either come in or not on the last Friday of their trips, if they needed time to pack or rest before the evening flights. Both decided to come in to see the children. We had a DVD day again and were joined by another…
Returning from Chiang Rai on Saturday, on Sunday Sally and I went with Nicola to her friendly, English-speaking Church – Chaengwattana Community Church in Nichada Thani, Pakkret, Nonthaburi. It was refreshing to join in worshipping God with familiar songs, despite being thousands of miles from home. Yet another reminder, if one was needed, of how…
Today is the last but one day for Sally and John in Thailand and the last full day working with the children. They will come in for the morning tomorrow, but be heading to the airport mid-afternoon. We made the last full day one to remember, for two reasons. The first reason is because, as you…
1Step2Step have recently been granted permission to get Mr S assessed at a private hospital regarding his medical issues. The appointment is in the morning on Tuesday the 27th February 2018. I’m hopeful that the doctor, who trained in three different universities in England and Scotland, will be able to help us. I ask your prayers…
Today we had a visitor from the Department. I’m guessing it was someone quite senior, as they were permitted to choose what they saw. It may have been an inspection. VIPs often visit and sometimes we go through all the preparations to present things in a fancy way and then they don’t even come in to where we work. Back in…
No, I don’t mean me, I was referring to Nicola in particular, but after 2 weeks at Bann Fueng Fah I think Sally has earned a holiday too! I was going to write a quick post on Thursday evening but I decided that as we had an early start on Friday morning – leaving at…
I feel as if I never really escape from work, but boy was God in a blessings mood during this short break. This week for the kids was a short week, because after the trip on Monday and the meeting on Tuesday, John, Sally and I went away to Chiang Rai. We planned the visit to coincide with the…
1Step2Step has many big projects in the works for 2018, including a DAT study tour, a beach holiday for the children and for Mr S to have an assessment at a private hospital for his health. We went for a meal today with the boss, head social worker and head physio of the orphanage. We were…
On Monday, we started the week by taking all bar one of the 1Step2Step children to Safari World in Bangkok. In light of Mr S’s seizures recently, it was deemed unwise for him to come on this trip. We hope to take him out in the future when he is more stable or we have been able…
What a wonderful time we had at the Safari Park yesterday. But Nicola has kindly said she’ll post a report on our day out with 5 of the children, so that left an evening to recuperate. Today, there was another morning out for some of the children as the local dentists had generously arranged a…
