Sawadee ka!
Songkran is in full swing here in Thailand! As we celebrate the Thai New Year, our city has transformed into the world’s largest water fight. We’ve been out in our pickup truck with a giant water barrel, joined by hundreds of others in the streets. It’s the perfect way to cool down in this heat, and the children are having the time of their lives!
The Power of Presence While we celebrate, we are also reflecting on the deep impact of the Tamar family. Recently, one of our mothers—who gave birth this past November—shared her testimony through tears. During her previous two pregnancies, she was entirely alone. She went to the hospital alone, had no visitors, and returned home to care for her newborns with no help at all.
This time was different. She shared how much it meant to have our team by her side every step of the way—from hospital runs to regular visits and helping her settle in with her baby. Her story is a stark reminder of the isolation many women in Pattaya face, and it confirms that because of your support, these families aren't just surviving; they are thriving together.
Reaching the Streets Our outreach efforts have reached new heights recently!
A Season of Discovery during the school holidays: Thanks to a visiting team from the USA, our mothers and children spent a wonderful day at the newly opened Capybara Café. It was heartwarming to see the children interacting with the animals—not just the capybaras, but meerkats and turtles, too.
Growing Our Team We are thrilled to announce that after a long search, we have filled two vital Thai staff positions:
Looking Ahead Our focus for the coming months is recruiting for our next Vocational and Life Training starting in July. We already have three women signed up and are praying to reach a full group of ten.
Thank you for your continued commitment. Your help makes every rose given, every class taught, and every mother supported possible.
With deep gratitude,
The Tamar Family
