Special Wedding!

This month all the girls and staff were invited for a very special wedding. Not only are both bride and groom from different tribes, which in and of itself is pretty special. But the bride used to live at Baan Phak Phing and in the past year worked with us as staff. For some of the staff she is like a daughter, for the older girls she is like a sister, and for the current girls she is like a mother. This made it very special to be able to attend this amazing event. During the ceremony the girls performed a song for the bride and groom.

The bride will be turning down a new road and so she won’t be working at Baan Phak Phing anymore and will move down to Bangkok to build up a new life there with her husband.
