Hello everyone!
Time is flying, and it is already time for another update from us. The past few months have been incredibly busy as we prepared for our next three-month Tamar Vocational and Life Training. We hosted several special outreaches to connect with women in the bars, and we are so thankful that three new women chose to join Tamar last month. Together with three women who joined us a bit earlier, we have a total of six women in our training program this year, which officially kicked off at the beginning of July!
The women have just finished their first full week of training, and they are doing fantastic so far. The next three months will be packed with vocational training, counseling, life skills, fellowship, and much more. Thanks to your generosity, we are able to provide this vital training and offer these women a fresh start.
Caring for Our Current Tamar Women You might wonder: what is happening with the women who are already at Tamar but aren't in this specific training? We are making sure they feel fully supported, too! Last week, they participated in a special Puppets Training. Additionally, our new Social Worker is meeting with each woman individually to assess their needs and help them take their next steps. It is a beautiful journey, and we are moving forward together.
Preparing for Mother’s Day Outreaches Our women are also busy preparing for our big Mother’s Day Outreach in August. In Thailand, Mother’s Day is celebrated on the Queen’s birthday, which falls in a different month than in many other countries. We are planning to distribute 1,000 gift bags to women still working in the bars, with the hope that it will inspire them to leave that life behind. Our women have already started crafting handmade gifts to pack into the bags.
Double Your Impact: July Bonus Day! Today, I also want to share an incredible opportunity to make your support go twice as far. On Wednesday, July 15, GlobalGiving is hosting its July Bonus Day campaign.
During this 24-hour window, donations of $100 or more will help unlock matching funds from GlobalGiving for the Tamar Housing Project. The larger the gift, the higher the matching percentage we receive to power our impact!
Thank you so much for your faithful partnership, both past and future. We truly could not do this work without you.
With gratitude,
The Tamar Family
