Ahka Hill Tribe Friends

Hmm, these are some of our Ahka hill tribe friends that have flown all the way to S'pore quite some time ago but just that i have yet to set up this blog yet so..yarz. So great thanks to cheryl for helping me out with this blog! : ) Anyway at the back left is our missionary Goh's wife and himself. He was the one who went up to the hills by himself and set up a training centre for them, helping the kids, and youths a place to stay at the centre and get education. Send them to school and teach God's word. Yupz. So basically, he had dedicated his life in helping them out. Oh Oh Oh! gotta write this down. He needed 65000 to set up another hostel and his prayer was answered!. Someone just wrote a check of 65000 for the building of the hostel! How cool is that!

Here are a few photos of our last mission trip to the Ahka Hill Tribe.

There are about 70 plus children and teens in the centre and seriously, they are very discipline. When we first reached the training centre at night, everyone was already asleep. So, we get into our bunk and sleep. And in the morning there was like some kinda 'Fire drill' early in the morning at 5am. I was stunned. The sky was still pitch dark and you can hear multiple footsteps gathering together for worship and prayer. But of course i didn't know then. So i just went back to sleep. I thought it was some secondary school fire drill like we use to have here in S'pore. Anyway, they are really kind and hospitable people too, giving us the best food and everything..feel like instead of us helping them, it is like the other way round..

We held a Christmas party for them, but if only we knew their language then communication would't be a problem. Anyway, some of them do know how to speak Chinese! and a bit of English language. Are you impressed? Well, That you have to give thank to our missionary Goh for that!

As you can see im wearing a windbreaker. It is really super cold up there. Plus there wasn't any heater! Shower was like some kind of 'torture' as it was freezing cold. I had to bathe like 3 times a day. One for the hair, second for the body and third for the legs. But our guys-bk, iz and stan are crazy. They wake up extremely early in the morning just to take the coldest shower.

Well..That is our dentist checking their teeth, plucking out the decayed ones..trust me, not a good sight.

And there were actually people queing up to pluck out their teeth!

Just wondering when will we go back there again.

Iz hint hint.. kinda like need a planner..
