Helping Children from Ex-Sex workers in Thailand

Merry Christmas and a blessed 2018 to you all!

Greetings from Pattaya in Thailand. Today we would like to sent you a short update about the children that you are supporting at Tamar Center. We are very happy that all of our children are in school and enjoying it (mostly ). Your support helps to cover the school fees and costs for uniforms and food.

Yesterday we had our Tamar Center Christmas Party and as you can see it was very exciting for the kids. They enjoyed the celebrations and the gifts that they received. All of them now have a school break until the 3^rd of January and most will travel with their mothers to visit family and friends.

Thank you very much for supporting our children and for making a huge difference in their life’s!

From everybody at Tamar Center we would like to wish you a blessed Christmas time with your family and friends. Have a good rest and we will continue to update you in the next year!

PS: In case you wonder why Santa-Shark came to deliver the gifts… I really love sharks and so this year my Staff give me the Shark Head and I had to put it on to deliver the gifts… The kids seemed to enjoy it!

Greetings from Pattaya! 

Here the school term has just ended and all our kids are enjoying holidays. One fun fact about Thailand is, that each school has different school holidays. They all start and end at different days and that makes it a lot of fun for us to arrange and coordinate how to look after all our children. One school started two weeks before the others and the last school only started this Monday officially but last week Wednesday decided that they close from Thursday onwards... That keeps us at least busy with arranging child care. :)

This year during the school holidays we have asked all the mothers to help out for two days in our Nursery. That works very well and so we have the Nursery well covered. During school holidays we have kids from 3-month-old to Teenagers to look after and one person cannot really handle it. So far, the mothers really enjoy to spent some time with the kids and some of them are getting very creative in organizing games and things to do.

We also had a Family Night in the last week of September. You see the pictures in this email. We had a lot of fun, played a number of games, had good food (they decided on making Chicken Feet as you can see!) and celebrated the birthdays of the last month together.

Thanks to your support, we have started to pay out the money for the new school uniforms to some of our mothers and we will also pay all the school fees for the next term. The term will start in the first week of November. 

Some of the mothers are also taking some days off to visit with their children that are not in Pattaya but that are staying with relatives in Issan. So, there is a lot of travelling happening in the next weeks.

Thank you again for your support and your help with the children from our women.
