Could we be about to form our own ,Thai version ,Von Trapp family? I doubt it, but music will definitely feature high on our agenda after a very successful, impromptu session last weekend.

I have played the flute for many years now, mostly for my own meditation. On Sunday I woke up in the mood to play a little in my room. Suddenly I heard the sound of our congas being played and then the Kan, and then the circular pan pipes. When I went to investigate I found the 3 boys playing a way and making quite an acceptable sound. I was especially pleased to see Jack playing the congas. He was holding a good beat and the other boys were following his lead.

Jack has some problems in many aspects so life so I was so happy to see a natural ability show through and will be doing my best to introduce regular music therapy into his routine.

We would like to thank them very much for their donations of clothes, bedsheets and games and for their physical help during their visit. The photo shows the fenceposts that our visitors funded and helped to start preparing, here they are in various stages of being painted.You can see full details on The Stratton ABC Foundation website. We are always keen for help and support from volunteers or any one wishing to donate to our cause.
