Hoay Maw

We had the privilege to stay at Hoay Maw for a 24 hour period where we were able to document a day in the life of the children of Hoay Maw.

Their schedule was as follows

• 5.30am wake up and get dressed
• 6:00am prayers and worship in church led by house-parents
• 6:15am Chores – sweeping, litter picking, make beds, tidy shoes
• 6:40am Breakfast of rice with some chillies and egg mixed in 7:00am Line up and walk to school – more chores at school
• 8:00am School starts
• 12noon Eat packed lunch at school (rice from breakfast)
• 3:30pm Home from school
• 4:00pm Chinese school for 2 hours
• 6:00pm Play and Meal
• 7:00pm Time in church
• 8:00pm Homework (or “family group” time on Fridays)
• 9-10pm Bed-time

The children have a very long hard day compared to that which most children are used to. It was
however a joy to capture fun moments as the children are developing relational and recreational skills
in their “family groups”.
