Dear Friends,
Thank you for your continued support to our prevention programs in Thailand! In July of this year, Jessica LeGault, a SOLD supporter, spent a month volunteering at our Resource Center in Thailand. Jessica led a few art activities at the Resource Center and helped decorate the buildings. On one Saturday after English class, the kids helped repaint and decorate the original building at the Resource Center, which now serves as the library. One of our university students painted the tree (pictured below) and the kids had a wonderful time getting paint everywhere.
Once she came back to the United States, Jessica wrote a reflection piece about her time on the ground.
Jessica states, "There is a deep passion in each of the staff members at The SOLD Project, a fire that drives them to care for these kids in remarkable ways. You can see this fire in the eyes of the kids that come after school each day as they look up at the staff with so much respect. You can feel this fire in the hands of the younger ones as they cling tightly to your arm, knowing that they are safe here; they are protected."
We hope you'll take a moment to read her full reflection [which can be found here].
Your gifts are allowing our students access to a safe place - a place where they can go to have fun and learn with staff who will protect them. Thank you so much for continuing to disrupt child exploitation in Thailand through prevention.
With hope and gratitude,
The SOLD Project Team
