Pictures from recent trip to
Remote Village again. (First and foremost, I'm really thankful and grateful for a few kind angels who donated items for this trip. We were able to bless the villagers with food/clothing items because of you. I'm thankful, the villagers are blessed because of you.)

| looking shyly at us (we visited to provide them with rice/milk powder) |
 |
| To the city folk, this might look beautiful and lovely. To the inhabitants of this house, it is dark and cold. A lady lives here with her aging father and sister who suffers from mental disorder. None of them work, food is scarce. |
 |
| This lady's very hardworking. Here she is with her harvest of tapioca. Still because this village is far from town, she can hardly make a living out of this. |
 |
| Child drinking straight from tap. In the past, this might've been good. Water was fresh and clean. However, development in areas nearby have turned their water into muddy water, browner than teh tarik. |
 |
| A mother of many children lives here. Funny how many of the men are reluctant to work, and are instead hooked on alcohol. Thus mothers have to work on farms whenever they can, and they earn about 20RM (USD5) a day...and usually about 200RM - 300RM a month. |
 |
| children wet from swimming in the murky stream. Here trying to shoot a bird. They're very good with their sling shots. |
 |
| We provided these children with food. Notice how this child, has not eaten the given food, but has instead kept it preciously, in his shirt, to be taken home and shared with parents and sibblings. |
 |
| Even cats there share the heat from the firewood. |
 |
| This goat....err.....was running away from Jo. end of story. |
 |
| Many of the children there have skin problems and flue particularly in rainy season. Medication much needed. |
 |
| Showing us the path to their homes |
 |
| My dd helping carry rice to give. Food was very kindly and generously donated by some friends (I call them angels) |

I loved this!!! Thank you so much for linking to my blog hop. Is this Thailand? I was just there 3 weeks ago.
Hey Shanda, this is in Malaysia. :)
Hi Martha, you are the biggest angel actually. For volunteering to visit them! Do you think they would appreciate my children's old clothes? I can contribute some medication also perhaps?
That's so sad and disappointing to know that the men are hooked on alcohol instead of working. My kids need to see this and be more grateful for what they are blessed with.
My in-laws spent 18 months in Malaysia teaching the people about God and helping them. How lovely that you could help out. It's interesting what you said about that home looking really cool and tropical but filled with sickness and sadness. I want to show my kids this post to remind them how blessed we are.
hey Carolyn, if you know of a pharmacist or you yourself would like to contribute anything from above list or clothes, mail me? I might go in again in Dec. If not latest by Jan will be there again. Thanks.
Kiddothings: I agree... and I wonder how do we help them out of it or help them change..
You are so awesome to help them. Thank you for sharing. I want to show this post to my children to help them see what life is like elsewhere.
I find it even more sad that the men are drinking while the women are working for pennies.
You have a gold heart Martha that admire for you very much.
We have our Aboriginal people up the north of Australia and we are help from in this end too.
So many poor people lived in the world and never end for contribute for these days.
Although to all cancer patient too in the specially this time of year.
By the way how you discover my new post?

You have a nice day!
Inspiring, thought provoking , thank you and your family for your generosity.
My heart breaks seeing this. You are teaching your girls a precious lesson. gail
Good for you for helping out and for teaching your children to do the same. I hope they forever remember these lessons.
it's sad to see the kids in this state. and hats off to you for your help and kindness! i really appreciate, admire, and learn from these posts about your trips and the work that you do... when our kids see the kind of life that the people in village are living, they'd learn to appreciate the little things in life and know the value of what they have... thanks! :)
martha, i've changed the URL and title of my blog. the new link is http://thechroniclesofsan.blogspot.com/.

I would like to help out by sponsoring some of the meds. How do I do it?
It is a great teaching experience and lessons for children. It will open their eyes and hopefully be more compassionate. I would like to join you to the village if there is a chance .. thanks for sharing this ..
