They each come from tragic beginnings and yet they smile and work hard to change their stars. Their philosophy is to take their experiences and realize it makes them stronger and use their strength to better their lives and others. The woman who works with them is amazing and the charity, Toys for Thailand, that sponsors her work is full of love and dedication.
In the morning, we took a drive well into the mountains for 3 1/2 hours on roads
that really shouldn't be traveled on. That reminds me of the Robert Frost poem, and this road was definitely the one less traveled by :).
The view was amazing as we were surrounded by the foothills of the Himalayas but the camera could not do it justice. After our insides were jostled sufficiently, we arrived at the school.
The kids, who are part of the Karen Tribe,
were still in class so we watched for awhile and then we were asked to sing a song.
So we chose "Old MacDonald" from our repertoire. There I was with a microphone in my hand! How do you say NO thank you in Thai? Those of you who know me, know that I avoid microphones and have done a good job until today!
It was a great day but we had to come home - yes another 3 1/2 hours back, and oh my aching back :).
Until tomorrow...........
