Suky and Philip and Kretsada had a great
lunch at Maes Y Ruen followed by shopping at our favourite store as you can see
from the photographs. Now that he's getting used to Philip, Kretsada is
beginning to be more relaxed around him, and was very happy to be able to
choose some new clothes (note the Ben Tan shoes) for himself.
As you'll also notice, Philip was also very
generous toward the family and especially concerned that Mum had enough laundry
powder and fabric softener to keep her going until he can come over again.
This family is very fortunate to have such
a kind sponsor.
Kretsada has been allowed to wear his hair
long for some years as because he was a premature baby his mother 'dedicated
him' to Buddha, and he has to keep his hair long at the back (which is the only
reason the school allows this.) She believes that if she ever allows his
hair to be cut, he will get sick again., but his hair will now be cut, by the monks
(and Philip, who has also been invited to the ceremony, will also be invited to
cut a lock or two) on September 9th at 9.00am. This kind of ceremony
isn't seen very often, so Philip is fortunate to be here at this time and
highly honoured to be invited to participate.
This will be a very special memory for him

world may be a little better because your help touched the life of one child.
