Who are the Koch Kamotion, you ask?

We’re a regular Canadian family with a Dad, a Mom, 3 daughters and one son. We started this blog to share our one year volunteering adventure to Mae Sot, Thailand with our friends and family. Right now, we are still in Canada…living in the Okanagan Valley of BC and getting ourselves prepared to go.  We can’t wait to get started, but there are many details that need to be taken care of before we leave.

See below for more details…  

 DEREK has worked as a pastor for 15 years, mainly with teens, children and people in our local community.  He is our “Pied Piper” , attracting the attention of children in whatever context or country he finds himself.   

IRISLEE has been a stay-at-home Mom for the past 9 years, as well as mentoring teens, teaching in women’s ministry and children’s ministry.  She is our “team manager”, making sure everyone is in the right place at the right time.  

ELLIE is a great student, friend and passionate lover of the less fortunate.  She is our “creativity co-ordinator”, always coming up with ideas on how to raise money for the issues of the world, making fun crafts, and keeping the others entertained with exciting games. 

 

ISAAC is a talented athlete, friend and patient brother of 3 sisters.  He is our “energizer bunny”, who is always on the look-out for fun things to do and who keeps us active.  Isaac loves people and his generosity is shared among friends, family and people who are in need.

 HANNAH loves all things involving creative communication, speaking both English and French, dancing ballet and singing like an angel.  She is our “public performer”, always ready to use her talents to bless others and give praise to God.

OLIVIA is a keen student, unafraid of new things, an enthusiastic friend and earnest helper to all.  She is our “justice of the peace”, always making sure that everyone is being treated fairly.
