Goeie naand broers en susters in Christus
Good evening
brothers & sisters in ChristIn ons laaste e-pos met Phillip se Mei nuusbrief, het ons vir julle vertel van die probleme wat hy ondervind met die vloedwater wat deur sy huis spoel op die Moken eiland van Ko Phayam. U kan na die Nuusbrief tab gaan hierbo om sy vorige nuusbriewe te lees waarin hy die bou van sy huis op die eiland beskryf.
In the covering letter of Philip’s last newsletter, we told you about how he was struggling with the flooding of his house on the Moken Island of Ko Phayam. You can go to his Newsletter page above and read all of his newsletters in which he describes the building of this home on the island.
Dit is huidiglik moeson seisoen in Thailand en hulle ondervind buitensporige hoë springgetye wat plaasvind tydens elke nuwe maan.
It is now monsoon
season in Thailand and they are experiencing exceptionally high spring tides –
occurring every new moon.
As iemand wat aanvaar is die Moken gemeenskap, was Phillip
‘n stukkie grond gegee waar hy toegelaat is om sy huis op die eiland te
bou. As gevolg van beperkings wat
materiaal, tyd & arbeid betref kon hy slegs sy huis op grondvlak, met ‘n
sementblad as vloer bou – anders as die
huise van die res van die plaaslike mense wat op stelte gebou
word.
As a belonger in
the Moken community, Philip was given a small area of land on the Island, where
he was permitted to build his home. Due
to limitations in respect of materials, time & labour, he only managed to
build the house on ground level with a cement slab for the floor – unlike the
raised houses of the local people.
Phillip, en die kinders wat tans in sy sorg is (terwyl die ouers op die see uit is om seekos te vang vir periodes van tot 6 maande) word nou deur die vloede uit hul huis gejaag min of meer elke 30 dae.Alles op grondvlak word deur die stygende waterweggewas - omstandighede wat bykans onleefbaar is
Philip and the
children he is now caring for (while their parents are on the sea fishing for
periods of up to 6 months), are now being flooded out of their home every 30 or
so days – everything on ground level is being washed away with the rising waters
– conditions that are near impossible to continue living under.
The only alternative for Philip is to break down his house, and re-build it on stilts so that the flood waters can wash underneath and so he & the children can then remain dry in their home.
Phillip kan ongelukkig, vir verskeie redes, nie hierdie
taak op sy eie aanpak nie. Hy tree op as
ouer vir tot 13 kinders op ‘n keer. Hy
voed hulle, vervoer hulle na en van die plaaslike skool waar hy hulle ook
onderrig. Hy is alleen – daar is
beperkte mannekrag (volwasse hulp) om hom by te staan met die fisiese bouwerk.
Phillip het ook beperkte fondse om die materiaal wat hy benodig vir die bouwerk
aan te koop aangesien die totale koste om na die kinders om te sien slegs vanuit
sy maandelikse vennootskap bydraes kom.
Philip however,
cannot undertake this task on his own for many reasons – he is parenting,
feeding, transporting and teaching (at the local school) up to 13 of the Moken
children at any one time. Then he is
alone – there is limited manpower (adult help) to assist him in the physical
building. Philip then also has limited funds available to purchase the required
materials for this project, as he is carrying the costs of looking after these
children from his monthly partner contributions only.
Ons het in ons vorige e-pos aan julle genoem dat ‘n klein
groepie mense (op baie kort kennisgewing) vrywillig aangebied het om ‘n ‘Ramp
Verligtingsekspedisie’ te onderneem om ‘n dierbare, getroue vriend en
Koningkryksdienaar te help sy huis op stelte te herbou – weg van die
vloedwaters.
We mentioned in
the last e-mail to you that a small group of people volunteered (on very short
notice) to undertake a ‘Disaster Relief’ expedition to help a dear, faithful
friend & Kingdom servant re-build his home on stilts – away from the
flooding waters.Sedertdien het hierdie ekspedisie ‘n werklikheid geword en rig ons vandag ‘n uitnodiging aan julle om te belê in hierdie onderneming.
Since then it has certainly come together and our invitation to you today is to invest in this undertaking.
Some have already
responded to partner with us, so as to have a real part in this opportunity to
ensure longevity of the mission’s effort in establishing HIS Kingdom on the
Island of Ko Phayam.
Daar is egter steeds tyd vir julle om te reageer op hierdie spesiale behoefte projek – om by te dra tot die koste van die materiaal wat nog benodig word om die taak af te handel, of om by te dra tot die koste van die bouspan.
Die begroting tot dusver is vir 4 mense wat gaan vir ‘n tydperk van 3 weke. Dit sluit in vliegkaartjies, akkommodasie, plaaslike reiskoste en etes:
-R11 000 per spanlid (vliegkaartjie R8 000) X 4 = R44 000 – R18 000 (reeds onderneem) = R26 000 nog benodig
-Bykomende boumateriaal vir die huis R10 000 – R5 000
(reeds onderneem) = R5 000 nog benodig
However, there is
still time for you to respond to this special needs project – either by
contributing towards the cost of the materials required to complete the task or
by contributing towards the costs of the building team.
The budget thus
far is for 4 people going for 3 weeks, which includes airfare, all
accommodation, local travel costs & meals:
–R11 000 per team
member (air ticket R8 000) X 4 = R44 000 – R18 000 (already pledged) = R26 000
still required
–Extra building materials for the house R10 000 – R5 000 (already pledged) = R5 000 still required
Die span beplan om Sondag 8 Julie te vertrek en keer terug Saterdag 28 Julie, sodat die huis gelig en voltooi is voor die volgende springgety.
Tyd is dus uiters beperk en ons vra dat u asseblief by ons Here hoor en sal reageer teen Vrydag 29 Junie om 12h00 aangesien alle ander reëlings gefinaliseer moet word.
The team is planning on departing Sunday 8 July and will be returning Saturday 28 July, so that the house is lifted and completed before the next spring tide.
Time is thus very limited, so we ask of you to hear from Our Lord and respond to us by Friday 29 June at 12H00, as all the arrangements needs to be paid and finalised.
