Finally we were able to start with our new building project in Hui Kau Laam. Lately we thought alot about the development work in this village. Last year it was not easy to see any development. Things for the good change in a slow pace, whereas bad things seem to develop much quicker. The problems in Hui Kau Laam are multi layered. Only with patience, much love and continuous investment can bring change and a base for for the the next generation, the children.
We were asked by some parents in the village to start a preschool. Many of the smaller children running around the village without supervision and are overwhelmed when they later have to go to a Thai school and start first grade. They lack discipline, language skills and integration into a schoolroom. Mida is excited about the idea to start a preschool and we already talked about the increase work load and responsibility.
Since quite a while we were thinking about to exchange our old bamboo building with a more sturdy and bigger meeting house and living quarters for Cati and Mida. The old house cannot hold the amount of people we have now on Sundays and would definitely be to small for a preschool.
Here are some pictures from the construction site. We hope to finish the project till the end of the year.
