By Susan Tileston | Director, MSppa / Project Leader Feeding Orphans
14 months and counting! I am still in Canada and Ko Myo and Aye Aye Mar, director of SAW, are on the ground in Mae Sot, Thailand. They continue to take good care of the orphanage and are unfailingly optimistic.
Thailand is undergoing its third Covid19 wave, and Mae Sot is under lockdown. This is particularly difficult as school is about to start and it's rainy season! Add to this the stress from the continuing unrest in Myanmar, where many of the orphans have relatives. The good news is that at this writing all the orphans are healthy.
The small light I see at the end of that long tunnel is that Thailand is finally vaccinating its citizens! To date 5.11 million people have received at least one jab. We have seen how vaccinations can dramatically slow infections and hospitalizations, so let's hope for a smooth and speedy roll-out.
The MY STORY photo project is still in a holding pattern, but I are beginning to hope that I can return to Thailand in early 2022.
In the meantime, Ko Myo, Aye Mar, and I thank you for your continuing support.
Susan Tileston
Director
