Re: Orphanage christmas party

Re: Orphanage christmas party

sorry if i misspell some words - I'm having a hard time reaching the keyboard due to an overstuffed belly tonight! :shock: Barry et al did a fantabulous job today at the party; the food was first class, the volunteers brought a treasure trove of presents for the kids, and, as top rated news reports ...

Re: Mermaid Cruises - sublime...

cannot say enough good about Mermaid Cruises. Barry, Tan, Andre, and the rest of the staff/crew do everything first rate and with style. from the first moment until disembarking, you are treated so well. the food was amazing, and the friendliness of everyone on board was a blessing. Barry, along wit...

Re: Refugee Children's Home in Pala'u area

good Qs guys re: the influence of Christianity at our children's homes. we accept any child who needs help regardless of religious beliefs. as directors of the organization, we are Christian and we believe that it is exactly what Jesus would want us to do for anyone (see Gospel of Matthew 25:31-46)....

Re: Refugee Children's Home in Pala'u area

to clarify, some of the kids are 'actual' orphans, some have only one parent, while others have both parents, but they are incapable of giving them the adequate care and love they need, so that's where we step in. we never take a child away from a family unless we have parental permission and bless...

Re: Refugee Children's Home in Pala'u area

That's interesting Lively, without wishing in any way to appear a 'voyeur', do you have a link to a website or some photo's to help understand better? you'll have to do a search for connect3e and it will come up; i think i am almost to the pt of being able to list urls in here, but still not quite!!

I know a lot of people in Ratchaburi province, but most of the people I know who aren't Thai, are Mon. A policeman friend helped register 800 of them in my girlfriend's village. I'm intere...
