Riding the waves!
Fabulous FLOWHOUSE FUN!! The children from the Emergency Home and the Thanksgiving Shelter overcame their fears and met yet another challenge in their lives successfully. With the aim of exposing them to new activities and challenges, we have taken these kids on boat cruises, horse-riding, carnival ‘rock-climbing’, rodeo-riding, and today, we went body-surfing!! Everytime they overcome their initial apprehensions and fears, a new layer of self-esteem and confidence is added and mends the hurts, trauma and barriers caused by past abuse, abandonment, disability and failures.
Thanks to the management of Flow House ( an ingenious idea to have this surfing facility right smack in downtown Bangkok on Sukhumvit 26!), we didn’t have to go too far to find this bit of beach fun. With three incredibly-talented surfing instructors. the kids took the dive, got on the boards, and with a little coaching, they soon got into the zone and enjoyed the rides!
It was quite a feat, especially when even the littlest guys, were able to eventually ride on their own. Thank you Khun Apichart & the Flowhouse team for arranging and accommodating us today!!
After the fun, we had a nice spread for lunch generously supplied by McDonalds’ — with their signature rice-meat lunch boxes and burgers.
What a day, what a memory, what an experience that will stay with each one — the day they overcame and rode the waves!
