The boys are very happy with their new home and its proximity to the grade school and church. The older boys make good use of their bicycles as they have farther to go to school. There are 18 Hmong boys in the home this year with 5 new boys in the 5^ grade. The Chiangkham dormitories have 28 boys and 29 girls. Many come

P.S. I would like to express my appreciation of the members of Rrst Christian Church who have given support and encouragement since I first came to

Thailand in 1951. An era has ended and they have sold their building so in the future Shasta Way Christian church has graciously offered to serve as
forwarding church.
