Wheelchairs, filters and fruits!

This is Myat Thu Win and his family, CEO of Shwe Minn Tha. He has partnered with LDSC in our wheel chair projects. He designs wheel chairs to fit many different types of disabilities.
This is Shwe Minn tha's secretary, Nwe Ya and Elder and Sister Smith. We just completed a donation of 87 wheel chairs.

This is our Wednesday afternoon English class
Dr. Win's water filter factory.
We love walking around and seeing all the fresh vegetables of the street vendors. The other day I bought apples, asian pears, a large bunch of bananas and a pomelo for $3.00.

Planting trees

Our planting day at Hlawga Park. We accompanied 200 disabled people and planted trees. Each person planted two trees each and attached their names to the tree they planted. Later we enjoyed their karaoke singing.



Some of the things we've been up to.

We had a wonderful visit with President and Sister Smith of the Thailand Bangkok Mission. He interviewed the 5 missionaries.

Our police force, Special forces, this is the day we went out to the shooting range.
Dale had a chance to try his sharp shooting skills with the Myanmar SWAT Team trainers.
San San Aye swishing the water to bring up the leeches.
San San Aye and many of her neighbors in Palay all are suffering from dissentary. Very very sick.
This is a picture of the leeches found in the pond she is drinking from.
Saw Polo and Susan's home was renovated. We brought in 3 truckload of sand, raised the house 3 feet, put on a new tin roof and bamboo woven walls. They tore apart their bed frame to use inside the home. Susan is very happy with a bigger kitchen.

We are digging a latrine for San San Aye.

Yangon Branch members helping out with Sister San San Aye's home. We put in a new thatched roof, bamboo woven walls, bamboo floor and sandbagged around her home. Her husband is blind and they have a little girl.
