Bang Sak

---

The children’s party was this afternoon and evening at Baan Sak beach, a local “park” and beach about 25 mins from the orphanage. It is an annual event sponsored by the Foundation for children in the care of a number of different organizations and orphanages near here.

It was a fantastic day and I have so many great pictures to share with you.

The highlights of the day (besides the food) included a puppet show for the kids and a Muay Thai demonstration by the volunteer instructor around here. The kids all had a great time with balloon, shell collecting (especially Marrin!) and just goofing off.

We are off to Phuket (probably there when I get this posted) for a few days to pick up supplies and I am taking the kids for a day or two off. We work 11 or 12 hours days here, six or sometimes seven days a week, so some time alone will be a good break.

Enjoy the pictures and captions!

We actually transported about 50 children this time around. These are the girls who did some dancing for the others.
