Sister Joan's Milk Run - 5 November 2010

Friday 5 November marked the return of the Infant Milk Programme (the Milk Run) for the new season.

A few photos are included below.

The Milk Run provides valuable support to young mothers in the Klong Toey slums.

As an example, there were two 14 year old mothers signing up for Milk Run assistance on Friday.

Sister Joan also remarked that the level of poverty in the area seems to be increasing.
