Our three ladies away on DTS graduated today and we are so proud of them. Please continue to pray for them as they will return shortly and start applying all they have learnt.
We continue to host teams, over the past few months we have we have hosted 4 YWAM DTS teams (Montana twice, LA and Denver) 2 World Race teams plus 2 teams from Global Infusion, a team from California and a team from the UK. We have also been blessed by some old friends who have either visited for the first time or returned to see how the programme has grown and to catch up with old friends. Each team has blessed us and the ministry here incredibly. Each team has been out at night building relationships, prayer walking in the daytime plus taking on practical projects within our local area.
We have seen the number of ladies joining the programme grow plus many more visiting SHE on a social basis for lunch and generally to hang out because of the increased activity that comes with having teams with us.
The training programmes offered continues to grow from the original jewellery we have been working on making chocolates, baking all kinds of great stuff like cookies, bread and dohnuts plus making Saa paper boxes. We thank God for the way He has provided for us and the favour we have found in the local community. You will have to see our pictures to get an idea of what it all looks like.
We continue to make and sell the jewellery as usual and are beginning to see more people start to organise parties again plus some orders coming in via the web site.
We have almost finished fitting out the office, we have been able to add much needed additional desk space as well as additional power and computer points.
The converted pickup truck / bus has been a great help transporting the teams about. We are presently fundraising to purchase a second vehicle which is much needed as we grow.
We are also fundraising to meet the costs of setting up a Thai foundation as our activities grow we need to change our present status / description to reflect our vision such as prevention programmes in the rural areas of Thailand. With this in mind we have recently seen 2 of our ladies leave to start businesses of their own in their home villages using the skills they have acquired at SHE.
We continue to pray for long term volunteers to join us at SHE Please contact us if you are interested in making a long term commitment to SHE and join us here in Phuket.
Remember our online store is available on our web site, www.shethailand.org, so why not take a look and purchase a gift that will make a lasting change at the same time. You can also donate to the SHE programme from our web site if you wish to support the ministry in Phuket.
As ever we thank you for your prayers and financial support, blessings from us all at SHE
