Finding the "New Normal"  

Are you ready for COVID-19 and all the fallout from it to end? We are too! We are still mourning the momentum in ministry we had and the exciting things on the horizon that had to be canceled or indefinitely postponed.
Thankfully, Thailand was able to beat the curve, so to speak, and quickly minimized the number of cases. Thailand hasn't had any domestically transmitted cases of the Corona Virus in five weeks. The only new cases are reportedly quarantined Thais recently repatriated from other countries.
Thailand has remained closed to foreign arrivals for several months. This has put two new teachers who plan to join our team on hold. However, it appears that the government will gradually open up to foreigners, those with work visas first, very soon. We look forward to having two more teachers join our team, hopefully by the end of the year.
The first term for Thai schools typically begins in mid-May. However, due to the pandemic, face-to-face instruction was delayed until July 1.  We start teaching English to adults here in Chiang Mai this month as well.
