GRACE exists to foster social change through strengthening families and eradicating the vulnerabilities of human trafficking and exploitation. Our mission is effectively administered through the GRACE Family Resource Centers in Thailand.
Schools in Thailand are ending their academic year this week. The children are excited and the parents are proud of their accomplishments. Unfortunately, for many young school-aged children, they will be left at home with an older sibling, left alone to contact a neighbor as needed, or be left to completely care for themselves as parents work. These days are primed to increase the vulnerabilities of marginalized families. But GRACE...
GRACE transitions from their regularly scheduled formal after school program to day camp. During school breaks and holidays, GRACE is open all day providing nutritious meals and snacks, educational development, socialization, wellness, and more in the safe environment.
The GRACE team is excited to invest in the lives of these precious children because they know the impact. The impact is directly because of your donations. The activities at GRACE Family Resource Centers are free to the families. The GRACE staff members provide shuttle service, breakfast, exercise activities, math/reading/writing/life skills/wellness lessons, lunch, arts/crafts/music/games/movies, and more with snacks mid-morning and mid-afternoon. Parents pick-up the children at shuttle points or from the center late each weekday afternoon. Provide * Protect * Prevent
Parents have comfort and peace knowing their child isn't only safe but being provided with opportunities to advance in their development. Parents are able to dedicate fully to their work which often results in promotions and more stable employment.
These things, and more, are possible because of your donations! THANK YOU!
