Chun Hai in Australia

Chun Hai is a 16 year old from Bethany Home in Malaysia. He has been in Australia, hosted by Wendy and Peter Flahive who served as Volunteers in Mission at Bethany Home (2004-05) and got to know Chun Hai in one of the group homes at Bethany Home. Chun Hai has had the opportunity to attend school in Australia, and to enjoy life in rural Victoria. He even had the opportunity to experience snow for the first time on the snowfields at nearby Dinner Plain! He will leave Australia mid-July, after a farewell party for both church and community members. Peter and Wendy write: 'We are sad to say goodbye, but the cost of visa extension has meant his stay has been limited to three months. He has made many friends and we expect many people to attend the farewell dinner.'
