It has been a busy month at Safe Haven! Safe Haven recently welcomed three new children. Rainy season has caused several children to be sick with malaria and influenza, and storms caused damage to the boys dorm and bath house. Check out a note from Tasanee of how we can be praying!

Last month, a team of 5 from Relevant – Debi Jaeke, Laura Malsam, Natalie Meeske, Kristin Nelson, and I – had the awesome opportunity to visit the Safe Haven Orphanage! On previous trips, Tasanee had shared with us her and the children’s desire for additional English lessons, beyond what the kids have in school. God provided an awesome team of skilled educators to be a part of this trip, who willingly used their spring breaks to travel to the Thai/Burma border!

Safe Haven was recently given 4 white buffalo (3 females, 1 male)! The buffalo will be used to eat the weeds and fertilize the soil at the orphanage. In addition, they’ll be able to sell any calves that are born. As you can see, the kids are quite enjoying their new “pets” :) !

Because of Relevant’s generosity, Safe Haven was able to put the finishing touches on a new stage just in time for their Christmas celebration. The old stage was deteriorating and was no longer usable for the Christmas performances of singing, dancing, and acting that the children put on. From Tasanee: I would love to thank you Relevant Community Church so much for our new stage. Wish you all the best. Merry Christmas to you all.
