Every Wednesday…
Every Wednesday, the church has a sewing and beading class to help the ladies to strengthen their social-econoimcal situation. Since I am not a big fan of sewing (or beading), I usually read while my wife, Tam Wai Jia, mingle with the ladies. Sometimes we do wonder if this will really make an impact to […]
Harshness and encouraging
