We learned about the birth story of Jesus and we made many different crafts to help us remember the meaning of many symbols that we see at Christmas time. A big thanks to Regent’s and ISE who generously collected presents and money so that all of our children could receive a gift this Christmas. One little girl was crying, not because she didn’t like her present but at 4 years of age it’s the first present she has ever received.

In 2014, they will help to provide a more stable house for 3 of our families. STAFF PARTY The staff had an afternoon of prayer and reflection where we all got to share the high’s and lows of 2013. It was a great time to also look forward to 2014 and cast vision for our hopes and dreams of 2014. We all shared a meal at the Sante Fe restaurant to celebrate. SHEEP FARM The Swedish volunteers paid for all of our children to visit the Pattaya Sheep Farm and this was definitely one of the highlights of the month. Upon arrival the children were very happy to just run and play on the grassed area as we do not have anything like this at the center. We saw not only sheep but birds, pigs, and a pony. All the children had an opportunity to feed the sheep milk using a bottle!
