Valentines Day at the ICCM Lahu Youth Hostel Chiang Rai, Thailand

What a wonderful way to celebrate Valentines Day with the 20 children living at the ICCM Lahu Youth Hostel.  

The morning started off with a "photo booth".  Children chose what dress up paraphernalia they wanted to wear.

Yeah, we even got into the spirit of "dressing up".  Can you figure out who's who?

 

While pictures were being taken others worked on creating a photo album for photos that would be developed and brought back to the children the next day.

The children played games, peeled bananas and fed them to each other blind folded, did puzzles, the girls had their nails painted, they jumped rope, ran a balloon race relay and played kickball for the first time. 

The day wrapped up with a performance from the children (check out the link on YouTube: http://youtu.be/e93sMYA_xQY) time for painting pictures, distribution of gift bags for all 20 "winners" and a presentation by the missionaries of Lahu language Bibles for the Youth Hostel.
