Well today's the day we came here for. Time to grab our bags, jump on the utes n make a track to the mountains. Eager yet nervous, the team is ready to hang with the locals n pick up the spades. Not sure what awaits us at the Huey Sai village but we do know they need access to clean water, they need to be able to safely deal with waste and as a marginalised hilltribe they need to know that they matter and are loved. We can't wait to serve and love them. As Jesus put it to "love our neighbour as ourselves".
This water project is number 226 for ITDP. Amazing... We get to help with 226! Our small part in something much bigger. Wirisak is the ITDP project manager going with us and he's been working at this for 21 years ... What a legend. Witchit (Richard) is our translator, an ex-English teacher... A fun guy. And Nob, one of our other drivers is a passionate fisherman (Mike and Campbell are his new best mates).
Well we are on the way. Please keep praying for us and the village. update you if we can. Bye.
Hi Team Great to see you have arrived safe and are now heading to the hills! Praying for you all and looking foward to following your journey with the Lahu Helen & Gerard
