Something
we
had
been
noticing
was
the
difficulty
we
were
having
communicating
with
some
of
the
children
due
to
their
disabilities
and
we
also
noticed
these
children
were
seeming
to
become
frustrated
as
they
wanted
to
communicate
with
us.
One
of
our
former
Field
staff
members,
Sharne
Lucas
is
a
qualified
speech
therapist
and
before
she
finished
up
in
her
role
here
5
weeks
ago
she
put
together
a
visual
communication
book
for
one
the
children
as
well
as
a
communication
board
for
all
children.
She
also
put
together
an
emotions
board.
The
communication
book
is
made
for
a
particular
child
who
cannot
speak
at
all,
she
usually
grunts
and
points
in
order
to
have
her
needs
met.
Her
book
includes
photos
of
the
different
rooms
and
equipment
in
the
centre
as
well
as
her
individual
belongings
and
the
other
children.
She
is
able
to
point
to
the
photos
to
assist
her
in
communicating
her
wants
and
needs
to
us.
The
Communication
board
is
an
A4
sized
sheet
with
small
pictures
of
basic
communication
needs
like
me,
you
us
and
I
like,
dont
like,
stop
and
go.
There
are
about
24
different
pictures
and
pointing
to
these
as
you
speak
to
the
children
can
really
assist
their
understanding
in
what
you
are
saying
to
them.
We
also
encourage
them
to
use
it
as
they
communicate
to
us.
The
emotions
book
is
a
variety
of
pictures
displaying
pictures
of
faces
with
different
emotions.
The
children
love
saying
the
different
emotions
and
have
now
developed
a
good
understanding
of
their
meanings.
They
can
point
to
these
pictures
to
tell
us
how
they
are
feeling
or
to
ask
us
how
we
are
feeling.
We
also
started
implementing
a
Daily
board
this
Month,
this
is
a
whiteboard
where
we
go
over
what
our
day
is
going
to
look
like.
We
now
start
everyday
by
going
through
this,
it
includes
the
day
of
the
week,
the
weather
and
pictures
of
the
things
we
do
during
the
day
and
the
children
have
to
put
them
in
order.
This
has
been
so
well
received
by
the
children
and
we
now
make
sure
we
start
every
day
with
it.
Lastly
we
have
put
together
language
therapy
training
for
Healthcare
Volunteers
to
undergo
when
they
arrive.
This
is
to
assist
them
to
understand
the
different
resources
we
have
put
together
to
use
at
the
Camillian
Social
Centre
and
teach
them
how
to
use
them
effectively.
Something
else
we
have
been
able
to
assist
the
Camillian
Social
Centre
with
this
Month
is
their
charity
bike
ride.
This
is
an
annual
event
held
to
raise
funds
for
the
Centre.
GVI
Phang
Nga
has
shown
a
great
deal
of
support
for
this
event
and
this
year
is
its
3rd
year
running.
In
the
lead
up
to
the
event
staff
assisted
Somchai,
who
runs
the
centre
in
sending
emails,
proof
reading
flyers
and
posters
for
the
event.
As
well
as
helping
with
getting
promotional
photographs
for
the
event.
Staff
members
Deb
Simpson
and
Talia
Gale
participated
in
the
bike
ride
and
were
able
to
raise
over
13,000
baht
together.
Staff
members
Carlee
Vandenberg
and
Kelsie
Hamilton
also
supported
the
event
by
bringing
some
of
the
volunteers
along
and
engaging
with
the
children
while
the
staff
were
busy
with
the
event
which
saw
over
250
people
race
25kms
from
Khao
Lak
to
the
Camillian
Social
Centre
were
a
lunch
was
put
on
by
many
of
the
local
hotels
who
sponsor
the
centre.
It
was
a
fantastic
event
that
GVI
Phang
Nga
is
proud
to
support
and
hope
to
continue
to
do
so
in
the
coming
years.
