10 DEC - 2PM - ORPHANAGE

Some the team went home to sleep - being exhausted. The other half spent three hours at a Thai orhanage - with 12 Thai kids ages 7-15. (10 G & 2 B)

We played tunnel ball and captain ball, cricket, made paper planes & origami, drew pictures of koalas & kangaroos & several pass-the-tennis-ball games. Denise was a fantastic translator.

Please pray for these kids. They do get brought to the Sunday school at the church we attended this morning. At lot of them have been rescued from parents who have committed sucicide, or are drug addicts or have been looked after by grandparents who subsequently passed away. If they hadn't come here they would have been sold as child slave labour.

As we left they were scampering about joyously in the paddock and turned to us and cried "don't go!" They were great kids. Their names are:
1. Nikki
2. Dorm
3. David
4. Ploi (Jewel)
5. Joy
6. Yin
7. Bau
8. Jane
9. Liura
10. Nuan
11. Yui
12. Pookie
