Congratulations Callum! YOU DID IT!!!

What an amazing team we've had with us over the last two weeks! The Eden team have thrown themselves into so many different activities, working incredibly hard and bringing so much encouragement, energy, and joy to HANDS staff, children, students in local schools, and many elderly and disabled people in our community.

We had a fantastic time visiting one of the villages recently, spending time with a small group of children and enjoying a morning full of fun and laughter.

We are delighted to share that work on the home of Geng and Nut, the couple who were affected by the recent house fire, is nearly complete. There is just a little more painting and floor tiling to finish before everything is ready. This incredible achievement would not have been possible without the kindness and generosity of so many people. ...

Jenny and Margaret have been busy knitting and creating some beautiful handmade items!

Our hearts go out to Geng and Nut, who have tragically lost everything in a devastating house fire.

Ai Ror is a man from our local village. When the HANDS team visited, we noticed he was unwell and that his bathroom lacked proper lighting, so we installed solar lights to make it safer and more comfortable.

The Hands team are really enjoying growing and eating our lovely, healthy vegetables! It's amazing to see the progress and taste the freshness straight from the garden. We're also experimenting with new produce to see what grows best in our polytunnels — lots of exciting things to come!

Nong Tee's dad has worked tirelessly to build a small 2-room home for his family. In between work and caring for Nong Tee - block by bock he has built a humble but safe shelter.

On 30th August, Callum will be taking on an amazing (and very brave!) challenge – a skydive in aid of HANDS. This is a real challenge for Callum, as he's actually afraid of heights – which makes his commitment and courage even more inspiring. He's stepping far outside his comfort zone to help make a difference in the lives of others....
