This young boys birthday was on Independence day so we tried to organise his birthday treat paid for with money sent by his French sponsor as near to his birthday as possible.
Suky and Boonying picked up Pongsakorn (and a teacher) at school and they went to the Sukishi restaurant st Tesco Lotus store. You can see the range of foods, and Suky says that his favourite was the shrimp, and he soon got the idea of the conveyor belt and cooking his own food - quite a novel idea for him.
When it came time to do some shopping, it soon became clear that green was his colour this season, as you can clearly see in the T-shirts he chose and the 'chest of drawers' to put them in.
He loved his time upcountry with the family, and even though his sister is now back with them, because she goes to Banglamung, her hours are totally different. He says he's finding it difficult to get back into the school routine, but he's getting there slowly!
I think his sponsor will be happy to see how thrilled he was with his birthday treat, and the fact that he could choose exactly what he wanted was really special for him.
Because the first chest of drawers was cracked when they examined it closely, and there wasn't another of the same size,they had to take a slightly smaller one. This means I still have the 300 B difference, and Suky will buy him a T-shirt and give it to him the next time she goes to the school .
