Do you sponsor a child in Thailand? If so, please tell us about him or her in the comments.
Thanks for sharing this information about Thailand. My family has sponsored a little girl from Thailand for about 3 years. She has been quite a blessing to us.
ReplyDeleteChris...I hope you and your family can make use of these resources. I learned so much about Thailand when I did this post - it's a fascinating country and I would love to go there one day.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post Jill -- I appreciate your use of my photos! We LOVED Thailand!
ReplyDeleteJuli...when you first got back, I remember you saying how I should take my girls there some day. After reading about your trip and learning more about the country on my own, it's definitely on my short list of places to visit. (although that short list gets longer and longer)
ReplyDeleteI sponsor a child in Thailand!! Thanks so much for this info!!
