Hey everyone!

Currently I am staying at the Ahka Training Center, it is a school for the children who live in the hills of northern Thailand. I love it here. There are currently 432 children who sleep eat shower and learn hear. you should hear these kids worship, 432 voices liften high...it's awesome! I get lots of little kid hugs. you can't beat little kid hugs. their parents have sent them here because the ahka hill tribes are some of the most empoverished people groups, they are not thai so they have no rights in thailand. so their children do not have much hope of a good future because they do not have a right to a good education and so the training center teaches the ahka children to speak both thai and english and then pays for their schooling. cutest kids i've ever seen, every one of them. all so desperate just to be held and loved and cared for. i got to brush hair yesterday, after all the preschool children had their showers. i've heard so many sponser the children campaigns but i've never lived in one, and boy are these kids worth it, if you are already sponsering a child praise God what an awesome ministry. God bless you all! Christine
