Thailand

Exciting news here:::: Kelly has presented me an opportunity to travel with her to Thailand!! I'm planning on being there for 1 month. The first week I will be at a conference with Kelly in Bangkok, I will then travel to the north to visit a women's group called Population and Community Development Association or PDA. I will spend one week with then developing new products with local artisans. I will then fly down to the south of Thailand and spend one week with SHE Thailand and one week with the Duang Prateep Ban Thai Namchai orphanage and develop more products with them. The products we create will be sold at The Village Experience and their local markets. I will actually be there with the artisans developing products and searching for materials! Crazy huh??

The only stipulation with the trip is that I have to fund the entire thing. Therefore, I have created the brochure to help fundraise for the trip (to enlarge the brochure, just click on it). Many of you may have already received it via email or will receive it through the postal mail. Hopefully, through enough family and friends I will raise enough to cover my travel and expenses. If I surpass my goal, I will use the money to help build up the women's group. Please click the "donate" button on the right side if you would like to help! As most of you know, their needs are simple and a small donation can make a huge difference.

Please contact me if you would like more information regarding the women's groups I will be visiting or if you have any questions/comments!
