Greetings from Tamar Center. Today it is time again to update you about the children at Tamar Center. In the last update we wrote about the start of the school holidays and that the kids were looking very much forward to it. We had a great outing at the start of the holidays and, at least for the children, the school holidays were over too fast, and they had to go back to school and so we added another day at the beach for everyone just before school started. The first days of the new school year were exciting for some of the kids and challenging for some of the others – as it meant getting up early again.
Several of the children moved to a new school and so there were some adjustments that they had to make. But thanks to your support over the last months, we were able to purchase all the new uniforms, books and school supplies that were needed for the children to start the new school year. The children that joined the next level of school and the new children that had just moved to Pattaya form the villages needed a full set of new uniforms. The costs of them would have been impossible to master for some of our women (one mother had to pay a total of around 300 USD for the full set of new uniforms and supplies for her two children) but thanks to your generosity, we were able to pay the complete costs for her and the kids are now enjoying school – as much as kids enjoy school! They made new friends and are happy to be together with their mom.
In the moment we are prepping already for a special outreach that we do every year in Pattaya. On the 12th of August will be Mother’s Day in Thailand – this is the birthday of the Queen Mother. On this day we will be packing 750 big Mother’s Day gift packages and will go out into the bars of Pattaya to bring some hope and joy to the many Mothers that work in prostitution in the bars of Pattaya. They often see their children only once or twice per year and on Mother’s Day often feel especially lonely. In the last years we got a lot of responses from the women, and some joined us with their children as a result of the outreaches that we did. We hope for the same this year. Please remember us during our Mother’s Day outreach and follow us on Facebook or Instagram to see the pictures of this coming outreach.
Thank you for supporting our children and their mothers and for helping them to stay together!
