Helping Children from Ex-Sex workers in Thailand

Hello everybody!

Thank you for supporting the Children of our women here at Tamar Center. October means school holidays – the mid-term break in Thailand with three weeks of holiday. As you can imagine the kids were very excited about it. Our Team from the Tamar Nursery was ready and put a couple of extra programs on, so that they could take care of the children in the best possible way.

One special day was just about a week ago when we took all the children with their mothers on an outing to the Aquarium in Bangsaen. None of the children had ever been there and they enjoyed watching the different fishes and other creatures that were on display. We also had some good food, and everybody returned happy, but tired to Pattaya.

Sadly, this month also two of the younger kids had to go to hospital. One of them had an allergic reaction and needed to be hospitalized two times, for about a week each time. He is doing better now, and we hope that he will fully recover. The other child had a bad infection and needed special treatment as well but has recovered as well. We are very thankful that through the employment at Tamar Center all the women have access to free health care here in Thailand.

This week the school has started again, and the kids are back learning. Some were excited but others were not at all – but I guess that is normal. Some used the holiday times as well to travel with their mothers to visit relatives in another area of Thailand and now they are all waiting to hear the results from their midterm exams that they did just before the break. We are all hoping for good results for them.

Thank you for your support of the children. They are a big part of our Tamar Family and make our life fun!
