Co-incidence? Chance? God!
Our latest newsletter went out last week. If you didn't get it and would like to be added to our list - please let us know!
Yesterday we (Noom and Karis) went for a "rest day" away from our house. We decided to go to Pa Dtam which is a place of rock formations - one of the famous places in Ubon. Just before we left, we came across a group of school children who wanted to take a photo with me (Karis). After the photo was taken, their teacher said he would be putting it up at the front of the school, so we asked where their school was and said we would come and visit. The teacher gave us his name and contact details, then told us a bit about the school: that it is very poor.
As we left Pa Dtam we were thinking and talking about the school, both with a heart to help them. We called the teacher and decided to drive into another province for the afternoon to visit the school and see if we could help them. Below are some photos of the school and surrounding areas. It is in a deserted place, out country and with limited supplies. Please pray with us about taking a team to minister to this school and about building relationships with them.
If we decide to help them by building or buying anything for them, we will post information and ask if anyone has a passion to help out with this particular school.

The photo the kids took with me
The surroundings of the village that the school is in
One of the classrooms - falling apart
The table where some of the 50 children can sit down to eat
A young village boy leads his cows through the school - his work when he is not at school is to look after the animals that belong to his family in order to make a living for his family
One toilet for the boys, one toilet for the girls - 2 toilets for 50 children
