Only weeks away...

Standing on the edge of the border of Burma, watching Karen and Thai people casually paying the 30 baht to take the "ferry", an old inner tube from a truck tire, across the river between their home nations, all signs of Burmese military regime and reign hidden... This is the moment my heart began becoming tied in interest to these neighbouring countries.

It's been months in the making. When I was last in Mae Sot, Thailand I began dreaming that this would be the location of my upcoming internship with Vanguard College. And here it is, a reality. It seems still slightly unimaginable that in two months time from today I will be living in Thailand.

Let me catch you up to speed. I am in my third year at Vanguard College, studying missions. As part of the fulfillment of my degree, I need to participate in a 2-6 month internship, which I have been accepted to do with Imagine Thailand! I will be leaving early in January and living in Southeast Asia until the end of April. This will be my longest experience overseas to date, and I am so looking forward to it.

Before I can leave there is a long list of things to do, including fundraising. I have raised just over $1000 but I still need $4000 in the next month to make this happen. If you are interested in supporting me, ask me how!
