It's been a little while since I (Ruth) have written here. We recently got back from a wonderful family vacation in Thailand. Well working vacation, as hubby was there to work and the kids had to work hard on their journals while there!
This was my facebook status today
One of the most amazing things during our trip to Thailand was the time spent with Andrea Cross and David Cross and visiting the Zoe Children's home. They have a rescue center, where they take calls, and work on the ground to rescue enslaved children. They have therapy rooms, school rooms and family living areas. I saw the gorgeous grass area where the kids can run and play. I saw on the roof where the children had washed and hung out their clothes, something I am told they take great pride in. Although slavery breaks my heart, it was so inspiring to see the good being done. I also saw in Thailand how far every Aussie dollar could go. I currently have other sponsorship on the go, but have decided to add to that a $5 per month donation to the Zoe Children's Home. In posting this I am hoping to perhaps inspire others to do the same. I know it's not much, but it's something I can do right now with what I have! If you want any information on the Zoe Foundation please let me know, or check out the links below!

I have started the $5 a month donation as of today. I know it's not a big amount Honestly with other sponsorship's I am already doing, it's the most I can do at the moment. Perhaps soon I'll double it, perhaps I will never go higher. But over time that $5 a month can do so much good. Maybe others will join me!
Think about what you can do with what you have in your hands right now. Do not wait for more money, or things to slow down, or that new job. Do something now, no matter how small, with what you have. This could be something towards some on the wonderful organisations we have spoken about here, or perhaps something closer to home. Maybe the salvos, maybe volunteer in a soup kitchen. What about a word or encouragement to at least one person everyday!
There is so much good we can do in this world...the best thing to do is just start!
As for Mandi, and I we are so keen to get started on our next project with goods and funds, and a team of volunteers going again to the New Hope Orphanage in Cambodia!
