Heading out to meet Tawan
Visiting one of the schools in the area. About 30 Compassion children go here. It is a private school - VERY nice! - and Compassion office headquarters for this region. Tawan is able to go here on Saturdays for free education and instruction
One of the very nice classrooms. We would love for Tawan to attend school here but his grandmother wants him to attend the Buddhist school instead
Some of the children
More precious children
Sharing some smiles

Gifts FOR Tawan
Playing
Showing him all his gifts
He didn't know what some of the things were
Tawan's home. They collect some recyclables for money too
Opening gifts
Playing with plastic animals
Cute little boy feet. Not much difference - they just walk in different worlds
More gifts
Jacob and Tawan play together outside
He had never thrown a frisbee before, but Jacob hadn't either so they were a good match
Visting in their home
Coloring pictures for Tawan
Tying his very cool shoes - I'm pretty sure we bought these for him for his birthday. We sent money and got a letter back saying he bought a shirt, pants, shoes and a new blanket. While we were visiting he changed into a very nice new pair of jeans, shirt and shoes to go to lunch. They were washed, ironed and laying on the bed ready to go.
