How to break the language barrier….

Have fun and lots of it. The past few days has been great, yet tiring, We  are now in Non Som Boon in Northern Thailand, at The Elishia Childrens Home. The kids are great and will run around and want to be played with all day. It doesn’t matter that we can’t speak Thai, having fun is the same in any language.

 At night after dinner, before homework time we play games. Drop the blue plastic block (aka drop the tray) has already become a popular game to play here.  So simply, yet so much fun. We have all the kids playing, even the youngest boy who is only two. It’s great to see how much the other kids love him and ensure that he is included in whatever they are doing.  At the moment it’s hard to introduce a new game. Tomorrow night I am going to try for Jacob;s ladder. Hopefully that will become a favourite as well. Either way, it’s just great to hang out with the kids and see their little smiling faces.
