FLOOD RELIEF: Feeding Village 7
Last month in Na Khao sub-district of Khao Phanom flooding from Phanom Benja Mountain caused mudslides in Village 7. Eleven Thais were killed and one body has yet to be found there. Some of the villagers are now living in temporary housing because their homes were destroyed. They have one year to build new houses in other higher/safer locations further from the mountain. The temporary houses are one room tin buildings on stilts. Some of the people still have palm or rubber trees they can harvest. However, others lost their palm and rubber trees, as well as their houses. Krabi Baptist decided to help these people by serving them a dinner. We served saffron chicken & rice with clear soup and oranges for dessert. While the villagers ate dinner, some of our young adults entertained them with Christian songs. After dinner, A. Dusit, pastor of Krabi Baptist Church, gave out blankets, plates and spoons to the villagers. Praise God for the opportunity to serve others!
