Difficult roads

The schools that Families Together support are far from the cities. From Yangon it takes three days on bus before the roads are to small for cars to drive on. Earlier we have walked, hired horses, or hired motorbikes these trails into to project villages. But now we have bought a motorbike that we can use from where the bus stops.Watch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download

Kick-Off 2011

Fortsatt mye å gjøre

Barn blir fortsatt sendt vekk fra familiene sine i Burma for å kunne gå på skole i byene. Nye barnehjem blir startet i Mandalay og Yangon. Lokale kirker vet ikke hva de skal gjøre med alle barna. Det naturlige og vanlige svaret her i Burma er å starte et barnehjem og begynne å lete etter en utenlandsk økonomisk støttespiller. Vi i Families Together tror annerledes. Vi tror at barna burde være der de lærer best – hjemme hos mor og far. For at det skal kunne skje, må det legges til rette for at barna kan gå på skole hjemme i sin egen landsby. Les videre

Julefeiring i Chinfjellene

A long travel for the Christmas Gifts

The team just got back after 4 weeks of Christmas fun in the Chin Hills. One week going there, two weeks travelling from village to village, and one week coming back. They were exhausted, but happy. Happy was also the word for all the children they had seen. From village to village the children were shouting their joy as they received a warm sweater for the cold days and their very first Picture Bible. The Bible has beautiful illustrations and is written in their Chin language, so it was extra precious for the children.

Blessing the villages

The Christmas team helped the teachers in the schools, arranged an academic competition with nice prices, gave out Christmas presents, had open medical clinics, played with the children, and encouraged the villagers. They definitely had their challenges, such us the long walks without proper backpacks, showering publicly in the village shower place (they had to cover the shower with blankets for some of the girls), cold weather, snapchat online login and a language they didn’t understand.

More blessed by giving than receiving

As they were giving all the children and teachers Christmas presents, everyone expressed their thankfulness and joy to the team, but still, what the team received by warm hospitality, the simplicity of life, the smiles, the thank-you’s, and the simple gifts, blessed their hearts more than they were able to give. It’s a bigger blessing to give than to receive.

Thank you

We would like to thank everyone who gave towards the Christmas Project 2010. We received more than 6000 US dollars and we have not yet been able to use it all. What is left will be used for gifts to children living in Children’s Homes here in Yangon.
