Flood recovery and a home visit

Day one with CCD:

Community-based rehabilitation centre
Today we visited the community-based rehabilitation centre. It was a two-hour journey and along the way we saw a lot of flood-affected areas. This centre was flooded with about 2 metres of water. Thankfully, the staff managed to take all the equipment upstairs. The Thai are busy already making the place beautiful with lovely gardens. Next it needs a lick of paint. Although there is a lot of work ahead, they are very thankful to God that the centre can be saved and for the volunteers keen to help. Please keep this work in your prayers as well :)

Here is a little clip to show you the flood damage:



A home visit

As well as visiting the centre, we popped into a local's home to see how they were doing. CCD focuses on helping families look after their own special children, and in this case they wanted to see how a child and her grandmother were going with their new wheelchair!
