Two New Children to Sponsor at Hot Springs - Wirachai
My name is Wirachai. I was born on March 15th, 2005. I attend Kindergarten (Level 2) and I am 6 years old. I am a member of the Karen tribe.
I am the youngest of two children.
I have an older brother.
My parents separated and my mother has been caring for us.
My mother is very poor and plants rice in our village in the mountains. She does this all herself. My father is no longer involved in our lives.
I am so glad to now have a new home and a new family and to be able to go to school and learn about God.
Would you like to sponsor Wirachai? Please email Jen Connor at keepersmom@sympatico.ca.
Your monthly sponsorship of $60.00 helps to provide: food, housing, clothes, schooling, school supplies, medical expenses, etc.
In addition, at least twice a year you have the opportunity to send care packets to your child, exchange letters, and receive updates and photos from our church members who travel to Hot Springs, Thailand.

Love KW - Food Drive
Tomorrow: Friday, June 3
1) Arrive at Highview between 5pm & 6pm and meet up with Ian and Renee downstairs.
2) If you can bring a vehicle, empty out your trunk so you can collect donated food. If possible, create your own team to go in your vehicle so someone can drive, and others can go door to door.
3) No vehicle - no problem. Renee can match you up with a team and you can still go out on a route.
4) Don't feel up to walking - don't feel left out. We have lots of jobs back at Highview Home Base to help get this food sorted, boxed and weighed.
5) Please bring as many boxes, cloth and plastic bags as possible. If you need your cloth bags back, be sure to label them.
6) We also need to borrow your bathroom scales. Ian will need them Friday night and the big day on Saturday where the freight truck is going to be filled.
7) If you have a wagon, please bring it along to help unload food from cars and bringing them inside.
8) Don't forget to wear your Love KW T-Shirts!
