Pictures as Promised

We've had another productive morning of Camp Preparation.  The younger members of the Team spent the latter part of our time rehearsing the two dramas and one puppet show, all of which demonstrate various aspects of the three traditions/holidays we'll be covering in our theme New Year/New Life.  The Ragman is one of them, if you are familiar with that classic.  It was a challenge to stay focused, but once we channeled our energies - oh my.  Powerful stuff.  Can't wait to see how this gets communicated cross culturally. 

We're not sure what's up for the afternoon but every one of us is glad for a more relaxed rest of the day.

So, some pictures...like I promised :).

First, let me (re)introduce you to Becky, our non Highview Team member.  Becky is a HUGE asset to the Team in that she's fluent in Thai, and has taught ESL at university level in Bangkok.  We are truly enjoying working with her.  

The Team at Toronto Airport.  We might consider this the 'before' picture ;).

The older girls, plus one member of Hot Springs Church, treated us with a traditional dance, complete with costumes and make up.  Amazing!  Such a gift of love for our arrival.

Rompo is really enjoying the blow up bouncing ball his Sponsors sent!

 Linda and Fruk are on the same team for Battleship.

One of the 'new' girls from last year, Apple.  Sponsored by two of our young adults, Heidi and Megan.  She's really blossomed in this last year!

Mee-oo enjoys the bubbles sent in his Sponsors' packet.
