Mae Fah Luang's here to teach, play n have fun!

On the 15th and 16th January, 20 students from the Mae Fah Luang University came to our Shan Development centre to run 2-days workshop for our kids. The Year 1 students found out about the Green Mountain Foundation and our work through the internet and wanted to work with the children here. The students came from the InfoTechnology faculty and during the 2-days workshop, they taught the kids IT, English and simple stuff.

Children's Day

January 8th is Children's Day in Thailand. On the 7th January, the Thai government school, NJ, invited us to help prepare 2 items for the Grade 1 and Grade 2 class during Children's Day celebration.
We put up 2 performaces and one of them we use a Christian song that we put up during the Christmas celebration. It's about our Lord Jesus Christ, coming to the world in a manger and dying for us. The children sang and danced to the songs. Many parents were there at the clebration too. We were very excited to be able to share the good news of Jesus through the performance. Praise the Lord for such an opportunity to sow His seeds in a public place.

This is a Grade 2 performance. Most of them are kids from our after-school programme in NJ village.

This is the Jesus' song performed by Grade 1.


On the 9th January, we also had a small celebration at our new centre in NJ. I am teaching the song "Jesus Loves All Little Children". Then we have games and gifts exchanges.
The children were supposed to burst the balloon and retrieved a number to collect their presents. They loved it!
We witnessed a miracle. Let me share this with u. At the end of the session, we had a small children's day gift for each of the children. We didn't expect a big turn up and had abt 40 odd gifts left over. We thought we had abt 40+ gifts. We gave out some in the morning to the Sunday School children.

We had the kids lined up to give out the gift. Then we saw the long line of children. Some of the children came in halfway. Some of them heard the laughter n the songs n came in to join us for the 1st time. Ken commented that we might not have enough for every kid. What should we do? My 1st immediate response was "give to those who came early for the programme". Then immediately after that, I heard a voice that say, "Jesus can use 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread to feed 5000. He can do that now too." I told Ken about it and by faith, we just gave each child a pack. And not surprising, every child got a pack and we have 2 left over which I walked out to the street and gave them away to 2 children. Jesus taught us an important lesson that day. He is our Jehovah Jireh and we need to trust in Him. Praise the Lord!


Jesus said "Let the littlechildren come to me, and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." matthew 19: 14.
Jesus loves all little children
All the children of the World.
Red and Yellow, Black and White.
They are precious in His Sight.
Jesus loves all little children of the World.
