As we entered year 2 of the COVID-19 era, we were thankful for a return to some normal activities in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Fortunately, life at Connie's Home was not drastically altered by the virus. We grow many fruits on our property and we've 'harvested' a lot of mulberries since our last update. See photo of the children helping to prepare for various desserts and drinks made from mulberries.
Thanks to generous, ongoing support by folks like you, we are able to provide the necessary medical care through private hospitals when the government funded services are inconvenient due to travel time and long waiting lines.
We had a house full of chicken pox (see photo). As that affliction worked its way through the household and everyone recovered, we had to be tested for Covid-19 (see photo). One of our staff tested positive after exposure in one of her groups. All tests were negative but we had to quarantine at home for 14 days. We were visited by the deputy Governor, head of our village and a nurse from the nearby hospital to bring us more masks and hand gels.
We want to thank you for helping us to serve the Thai children who are waiting for their forever families, especially during this patience-trying time of COVID restrictions - relaxations - and more restrictions.
