Christmas Fundraiser
Relief Support for Myanmar and Philippines
As the military coup in Myanmar continues, with soldiers targeting innocent villagers, our Thai co-workers are planning another relief trip to the border before Christmas to distribute food, medical supplies and other essential items to the Karen refugees.

Your donation, of any amount, will go directly to our National Leaders in Thailand and The Philippines to purchase, transport and personally distribute relief aid. More >>>
