Hello from Thailand

So, I got here. Safely. My guitar even got here safely. And I have survived my first day in Thailand!

This morning I caught up on some sleep (arriving in the very early hours of the morning isn't that conducive of a good night's sleep) and spent some time getting everything sorted. In the afternoon I was able to meet some of the beautiful children that I will be spending time with and received some orientation.

It looks like I will have the opportunity to work with the children at the actually CCD orphanage, in the Baan Fuang Fah Day Care Centre working with children ages 0-7, in the Rachawadee Girls Day care centre, and the community based rehabilitation. CCD hasn't had very much support from speech pathologists until recently (they currently have another speechie volunteering from Ireland, who sadly will be leaving next week), so they would like to utilise my skills in the best way possible. I cant wait to start properly, it is going to be a really, really great experience!
