Dear Family & Friends,
We are a group of friends who have undergone a Leadership training program a few years ago. Our group Vision is “Loving People, Empowering lives”. One of our group commitments is to continue with community service and be able to make a difference to those who are in need.
One of our members, Wantana (we called her Wan), a Thai Catholic nun and Yen Ming, another member, a Singaporean who is currently stationed in Thailand, had gone to explore the projects at Khon Khaen, some 470km from Bangkok. Their love and passion for the needy there really inspire all of us to come together as group again to do a charity fund raising and visit there. Please see details of our visit.
Our departure date: 18 Dec 09
Location of project: Kho Khaen, northern Thailand
