Help send me along with a team of 8 others to Thailand this summer to serve the people in Mae Sot, Thailand. First Methodist Houston is supporting a Christian school for Burmese children and a home for children and young people to equip them to return to their country and be leaders upon graduation from school. Help me through your prayers and donations to get to Thailand as we work in the school and children’s home and take supplies for refugees living in IDP (Internally Displaced Persons) camps. You will be a part of bringing hope to the lost and forgotten.
Thailand borders Burma (Myanmar) to the west and is home to over one million Burmese refugees. Due to extreme poverty and genocide of Burmese minority groups by their own government, one out of every 10 children living in Burma will not live to see his or her fifth birthday. Prior to arriving in Thailand, the refugees and asylum seekers experienced human rights violations such as torture, rape, forcible conscription of their children in the military, forced labor and forced prostitution. Many came to Thailand after having lived as internally displaced persons for long periods of time, and only after having exhausted all possible means of survival.
