What lurks behind…
As most of you know, The Sound of Hope raises money and awareness for orphans and vulnerable children in Swaziland, India and Thailand. Although that sounds simple – it’s really not. Each country is plagued by it’s own set of serious problems and deep-rooted issues. They all have something horrible lurking behind the beauty of the countryside and culture. Some of these problems are the same for all three countries, while others are unique to one particular nation.
This was one of the main reasons we came to Thailand for 3 and 1/2 months – to educate ourselves. We needed to have a more complete understanding of the problems facing the kids in this country. This way, we can better support our local partners and help them care for the kids who are at risk.
So, to fully appreciate the work we are doing in Thailand, it is important to have an understanding of what the kids here face on a daily basis.

Now you can see why we are passionate about The Promised Land Project and The Refuge. These two projects we are partnered with work directly with kids who are at risk for human trafficking and the genocide that’s happening in Burma.

[…] In Thailand, prostitution is a multi-billion dollar industry. Thailand’s Health Systems Research Institute estimates that over 40% of the prostitutes in Thailand are CHILDREN. That means EVERY DAY thousands of children are sold into sex-slavery and raped for profit. Is that JUSTICE? […]
