Last Friday a group of volunteers transported nearly the whole community (150+) to a nearby picnic area for an afternoon of swimming, fishing, volleyball, soccer, and baseball.
Stephen's entire carload of kids fell asleep
on the 20 minute drive to even get there.
A group of women and children eating fruit. To the far left is Sherie Cartwright; she and her husband, Tom, are the key players in helping out the Karen (and absolutely amazing).
Aw Soe, the oldest man in the community, and Thomas; we're not sure why Thomas was wearing a ski mask...
Steven Babin is one of the elders in the community. He does have eight boys, but only three of these are his.
Please note the dishtowel around Ehkerler's waist after swimming...
My new friend, Nay Ree A. He didn't show much interest before, but suddenly grabbed my hand at the picnic and we became friends. He just started saying some English words this week, too.
