New students at the dormitory

This year has been a busy year at the Faa lang fon center. Our aim was to increase the number of children/teenagers when new school year started in May, but to do that we had to build a new dormitory for girls and also a new kitchen building. Since we at the beginning of the year had a long time volunteer we also had to build a cottage for him to stay in while working in Faa lang fon. The last building to build was a cottage for Be (the leader) to stay in when he is at the center. We were almost finished when the new school year started and  were happy to receive 11 more children to come and live with us at the dormitory.  Today three of them have left the dormitory already for different reasons and there are now 17 children/teenagers aged from 12-17 years staying at Faa lang fon center. They are all from the Karen hill tripe. They have adjusted well and goes together very well. Everybody help each other making the food, cleaning, washing, looking after the dormitory etc.
