Mayflower Minutes
The Mayflower group has been introduced to the lake, including a swimming assessment of their skills and swimming lessons for the non-swimmers.

The Mayflower gardens are taking shape! With some plants growing in the greenhouses and more than 1.5 acres being cultivated, they are growing Chinese vegetables, melons, tomatoes, and other assorted vegetables. Last week, a gift of hundreds of sweet potato slips were received and planted as well. 

Brad and Mila, the last remaining family of the Mayflower Group, welcomed their third child in Thailand and are now safely settled on campus. Last week, Brad and his two boys and other Chinese fathers and sons, joined the local ALERT Cadet Unit in weeding and improving the mulch around our fruit trees in the orchard.
