Today was Sports Day at the School for Blind Children. This is an occasion we try not to miss. It is raucous, colourful and lots of fun. The children run, skip, swim, play goal-ball and other team sports with balls with internal bells. It is an eye-opening display of the abilities of the blind and partially sighted. The school's band plays with enthusiasm and, this year at least, tunefully. The whole school sings at the close, a Thai version of 'Auld Lang Syne' which is haunting; familiar but exotic.
Good news about little Baytoy of whom we wrote on Tuesday. Mr Kirk Horton, of the US Hilton/Perkins programme, tells me that there is a teacher in Thailand who can help. Actually there may be as many as three. He will make arrangements.. Thank you, Mr Horton, you are a real friend to this little girl.
