Our first child home is progressing.
Sue and I are now back in the U.S. We find that tax time is always a good time to be back. Most of our bills get paid by auto deductions from bank accounts, but piles of mail, a few pieces of which is actually important, have built up while we were gone. Anyway, we’ve finished figuring our taxes and have a bit of time for other things, like this blog entry.
I have wanted Walai to contribute more to this blog, but she has not had the time lately. Last month Walai became the managing director of the foundation, and so has been pretty busy with literally everything that is going on there. She did have time to send me a pictures of the village’s first two buildings, which appear here. She also told me that 68 trees averaging about 30 feet high have so far been moved from the forest and planted in the village. I think we are shooting for about 200 trees this first time.
This Sala will provide shade and a place to relax for our children, staff and volunteers.
Our children there are doing well. We have seen some improvements in their academics.
We are enjoying being with our children and grandchildren here, but are already missing Thailand.
