Join me in Myanmar?

Hello my Dears,

As I told you in my last post I will be doing a dual trip to Myanmar and Vietnam in July/August. Details are still being finalized, but here is what I have so far. I am traveling over with my good friend to Myanmar to help in his mother's orphanage. Tentatively we are planning to go in the beginning of July for three to three and a half weeks. The orphanage we are serving in has around forty children from five to fifteen. The main help we have been asked to provide is English lessons after school and on the weekends. We have also been asked to provide some one on one tutoring in basic conversational English to ten to fifteen adult Bible students. We will also be loving on the kids and providing some relief support for the full time staff in whatever way is deemed necessary in the moment.

From Myanmar I will move straight to Vietnam to work more with Orphan Voice, the organization I have been to help twice before. I am planning to be there from four to five weeks. I have not solidified projects with them at this point, and will give you more information as I am able.

I am hoping and praying for more people to join me, especially in Myanmar. I will admit that a two person teaching team for forty kids is rather intimidating! So if I am able to recruit a teammate with teaching English as a second language experience that would be fabulous and ideal. If you, or anyone you know, has any interest in joining me for either my whole trip or part of either country leg please get in touch!

I will update you all on China tonight or tomorrow. We leave in just six days!

Thank you all for your support!

Tatiana

Prayer Points

• That my friend and I will find people to join us in Myanmar
• That my team to China will stay healthy in this last week and while overseas. We have one girl working with a lot of sick children right now, please pray that she will stay well!
• Join me in thanking God for His never ending provision for all the details. I needed some pants for the trip and was able to find three pairs of great ones that fit me perfectly at a Salvation Army store for less than $12.00!
• Please pray that I will pack well, and find everything else I need easily in the stores, for example an outlet converter.
• Please pray for everyone's emotional and spiritual wellbeing. We want to be on the top of our game when we get to the orphanage so that we are able to pour ourselves out for these kids.
