Project 1

The project for the kids at Maeap is PUPPETS! You can make any type of puppet you like. There are finger puppets, sock puppets, mitten puppets, glove puppets, and whatever else you can dream up. The deadline for the project is Dec. 17th. I want the puppets to get to Maeap before Christmas. See the sidebar for shipping instructions. I am really excited about this project because it allows the kids to be creative and interactive once they receive our gift. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. Thanks for your help!!

Maeap Children's Home

We have a Children's Home for our first project. The home is located in northern Thailand in the small town of Chiangrai. It was founded to help prevent child prostitution by taking in children at risk. Their mission is to " heal, restore, train and disciple each child, enabling them to fulfill God’s plan for their lives." The home currently has 21 children ranging in age from 4-15. I can not imagine more deserving kids. I will be letting you all know about the first project in the upcoming days.

The Search Begins!

I have started my search for a children's home. I decided it would be easiest to find a home if I narrowed my search to a region. Right away I thought of Thailand. Thailand has a large problem with AIDS leading many children to become orphaned.
I have found a few good prospects that I am communicating with at the moment. As soon as I hear from them, I will let you all know what our first project will be. I am so excited I can barely contain myself.
