Thailand Team splits up to accomplish more!

The Mission team arived in Chaing Rai via the New Life Center Van. We traveled north with Lauren Bethel, the founder of the New Life Centers. All is well...no one sick and most are enjoying the adventure. The team split with four members and Chuck Fox traveling to one of the mountain villages to work on a clean water project and Barbara Fuller staying in Chaing Rai to work with the Akha Crafts Women for a few days. Barbara will be helping the women develop quilts with squares of their beautiful embroidered work and work with the New Life Center girls in the evenings after classes. They will work on their knitting skills. The team will return to Chaing Rai Saturday or Sunday.

There are so many exotic and exciting things in Thailand to enjoy. In the morning I wake to the sounds of birds singing along with roosters crowing.... Motor scooters racing by outside the gates of the walled compound. I have enjoyed the food and most of all the friendly people that I am working with here in Chaing Rai. Kerry Hassler and Karen Van are out of range now for e-mail, but when they return you will hear from them

Many Blessings,
Barbara M. Fuller
