We have had such an enormous response from our supporters--it has been great to see the very visible evidence that people are moved to do something, even for those a world away. We had one ESL class write personal cards to the orphans, and a man that drove hours to deliver 5 large boxes of items.
If you're not sure of what I'm talking about, a few months ago we started collecting items for the orphanage we support in Thailand. The orphanage is comprised of Burmese refugee children that have run away from the violence. Children will often lose their parents when the military raids their village, leaving them without care and vulnerable to be drafted as porters or human minesweepers.
This is a picture of some of the material I will be taking over--toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, notebooks, hats, socks, stuffed animals and many other items. I'll be posting as much as I can with updates on the trip. Thank you all so much.
