Helping Children from Ex-Sex workers in Thailand

Today we would like to update you about the Tamar children and some of the things that they have been up to in the last couple of months. Currently, all the children are enjoying their big school holidays and the new school year will start in early May. The exams in the middle of March were a tense time for them, but lots of extra work required, but they managed them.

Before the exam season of the school year started, we took all the children and their mother’s to a very special outing: We visited the Ramayana Waterpark – the largest waterpark in Thailand – with everyone and spent a whole day, from the moment it opened until the moment it closed in the park. The kids and also the mother’s had an absolute blast and we must say that the park is very well designed with great play areas and slides for all the different age groups. You can see in the pictures below how much everyone enjoyed the day! Another sign of their enjoyment was, that on the way back it only took 2 or 3 driving before all the kids where in deep sleep.

During the school holidays the kids also enjoyed some special times with their mother’s. We used some of the donations and made money available for each mother to spend quality time with her child. The only rule was, that they need to do something together as Mother and child. Some decided to go to the aquarium in town, others decided to make another visit to a waterpark and some went to the trampoline park. It was nice to see the mother’s taking the initiative and arrange some outings for their children.

Now that the school holidays are slowly coming to an end the mother’s are especially grateful for your support, as it is now the time of the year where new school uniforms and school material need to be purchased. At Tamar we safe each month some money for each child and so when these bigger expenses come up once per year, the women can bring us the receipts for the different items and we reimburse them from the money that was saved.

Thank you for your continued support of the Tamar children – you are making a huge difference in their life’s!
