Northern Thailand

We drove about three hours north of Chaing Mai yesterday, through beautiful mountain ranges, headed for Mae Sai, the northernmost town in Thailand, right on the Burmese border. We are filming another ISV partner project - DEPDC, Development Education Program for Daughters and Children. Most of the children here at considered "at risk", and have come from situations where they were either in abusive or exploitive situations, or would have been had they been left there. They have around 40 kids in residence, and the rest are brought in by bus or walk in from the surrounding community.

It's been great to film the ISV teams interacting with the kids, learning the language and culture, and generally being challenged by a way of life much different from their own.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover that they have wi-fi in the office, so I'm able to post today and might even be able to Skype with Lynn and the girls tonight!
