The School for the Blind.

A couple of weeks ago, 15 grapeviners met up at the School for the Blind in downtown Bangkok.

Although we didn't get to hang out with the kids since they're mid - year break falls at the same time as ours, we did get to help out. Some of us went the garden and playground where we helped to haul sand, cut shoots, and plant them. The rest helped to illustrate books by outlining pictures with puffy paint. I felt encouraged that many of our students would take time out of their break to serve others, and hope that this is only the beginning of our outreach with this organization.

Girls Night

Some of my favorite memories at Grapevine happen during girls nights.

During our last night we had a "Spa" theme. We scrubbed our hands raw with a homemade

hand treatment, soaked our feet in water ("my water's too cold" or "my water's too hot") and refreshed our tired skin with facials. We ate fruit pizza and watched some America's Next Top Model. We laughed and talked and had a good ol' time.

What did I like the most? - Being with the girls that I love so much.
