Thailand Projects – FINAL UPDATE!
Okay, so it’s not the FINAL update for this projects (because they are not finished yet), but it is the last one for our time in Thailand! I can’t believe the day has come for us to head back to America. In just a few hours we will board a plane to begin the long journey home. When we arrived in Thailand in January, 100 days seemed like such a long time… but in reality it has flown by! We are so sad to leave our friends and partners here, and can’t wait until our next trip to this beautiful country!
Our time here has been amazing, and thanks to your generosity we’ve gotten so much accomplished for our projects here. $1,500 was donated to The Refuge to build a new Boy’s Dormitory (with a cement floor and tin roof – instead of the dirt floor and bamboo roof that they had) and another $1,500 was donated to support 10 new children coming out of the violence in Burma and into this Children’s Home. We also had an incredible time doing Art Therapy with these refugee children, and left them with new art supplies to use in the future. Their lives will be forever changed because of these gifts, and we are so thrilled to have played a part in it!
The Promised Land Project is now in full swing, thanks to over $8,000 that has been donated in the past 3 months. It looks completely different than when we first arrived – and our partners couldn’t be more excited! Since our last blog, the money was donated to build two gates at each entrance of the land. Check out the video below for a full overview of all the changes that have happened in the past 100 days.

Of course, if you’d like to donate to all of our projects in India, Swaziland, and Thailand (including The Promised Land Project and The Refuge) you can give your gift on our main donation site or by mail, and the money will be split evenly between each country we work in.
A big THANK YOU to all of you who have been a part of this project, and those of you who support The Sound of Hope through your one-time gifts and monthly pledges. We are so grateful to have you as partners in this work! We could not do it without you!
Until next time…. Suwadee Kha & Khap Khun Kha!
