DDC Update

Last Thursday four of our team traveled to Sisophon to run a morning program at the Drug Detention Center. The detainees were divided into three groups with about 20 in each group and rotated through football, volleyball and taekwondo stations. They were simple activities, but it's soooo much better than being locked up with zero stimulation. We also gave a 50kg bag of rice this visit because they're allocated just under 40 cents per person per day for food, and that's only enough for two meals of rice & soup.


I was especially proud of our relative newbie, Makara, who led the taekwondo. He is a 'lowly yellow belt', but his enthusiasm makes him a natural teacher! 


We've signed an agreement with the Ministry of Social Affairs to allow us to continue to visit twice a month for the next 12 months. We are also hoping that other NGOs or churches will be willing to visit regularly.
