Mothers Day – Safe Haven Orphanage
The children at Safe Haven Orphanage celebrate Mothers Day in their own special way.
It is pre-arranged with the local Thai school that all the children from Safe Haven Orphanage will spend Mothers Day at the orphanage rather than at the school. This is so the children don’t feel uncomfortable seeing all the other children with their mothers during this time.
All the children pay respect to the local elders and receive a cotton tie around their wrist in return. Afterwards, the children enjoyed a meal of mohinga – a traditional Burmese noodle soup.

Beautiful photos Simon! They’re all growing up very quickly!
I hope you’re well, and let’s catch up properly soon. Between Madrid/Barcelona right now…

Thanks fella. Will post some profile pics on the orphanage website shortly, it’s amazing how much they’ve changed in the time that we’ve known them! Cheers.
