New Life Outreach

Just a few minutes ago, i received a phone call from my staff in Phetchabun. She told me that one of our kids had ran away. It was none of the usual suspects, instead its Jong.

What happened was hilarious. The kids were all tasked to do their revisions and study prior to the new term and my staff was tutoring all the kids. So this girl who had never been good at math was asked to recite the multiplication table.... and she just could not get it.

And today she ran home to tell her mom that she wanted to work in the fields and does not want to study anymore.

This is hilarious but also just as disturbing as we do see a trend among the streetkids to take a shortcut in life when they are faced with challenges. :)

Lets see how the next few days go :)
