Felix Family Village Thailand

A letter from Caminul Felix Villages, Thailand:

Dear Friends!

What joy it is to write to you again. We have big news to tell you about the inauguration of Felixbyn May 8-10, a weekend we will all remember with great joy and gratitude. That this happened during the rain and monsoon period was proved by the evidence, when the storm broke out just before the flower decorated bands in the village would be cut. Children, parents and guests gathered under a tent that was set for the day. The rain eventually was over, and the party could begin. Several speeches were made, and again we were reminded of the great miracle we could see this day, by being able to open the four homes. It all began with a vision a few years ago to provide a mother, father and family to the lonely and abandoned Children.

The local mayor was there along with national and international leaders and guests. Along with one of our children, the mayor cut the ribbon to the Felix Village and the four homes. The Felix families showed their gratitude for the homes built by funds from private donors and the magazine Varlden Idag. Donors attending were Margareta and Jarl Josefsson and Jonas Adolfsson from the newspaper Varlden Idag. The Jim Sankey family from USA, who built two of the houses, was represented by Felix Caminul International Foundations Chairman, Bob Pagett from the U.S.

It was nice to see little Firn, dressed in a white dress for the day. Together with the Mayor and Bob Pagett, she cut the ribbon to the Felix Village and to her home. She was the first girl who moved in with family K with her brother Frank. What a joy it was to see her happy and pleased with her new parents and siblings!

After the ribbon was cut, the visitors greeted the different families. It was a day on which all enjoyed and delighted. We were invited to Thai snacks and drinks. A slide show was displayed that showed the different steps of the Felix Village from start to where it is today.

Thanks to all of you who sent a love gift to the inauguration. It meant a lot to us, to know that you are with us in the work. Thank you for your gift!
