About Thailand

Sawasdee ka/krub! That is how you say “hello” in Thai, the official language of Thailand. Visitors are drawn to its beautiful beaches, ancient temples, and vibrant markets. Yet many children still face poverty, abuse, and lack of opportunity.

The children worked together to remove weeds in the coffee nursery

Healthy coffee promotes happiness and well-being among youth in the community.

Your support has enabled the children to learn the full coffee-making process—from bean preparation, roasting, and grinding to brewing—using the available equipment. The children have shown great enthusiasm and joy in learning new skills through hands-on experience and teamwork. This process has also helped develop their sense of responsibility, patience, and confidence. A significant outcome is that many of the children are now able to explain the coffee-making process and brew coffee independently. Despite some limitations in equipment and budget, the activities have continued successfully. This project has created a positive learning environment within the church and community, encouraging children to use their free time productively while opening opportunities to develop skills that could contribute to their future careers. Once again, thank you for your continued support in nurturing and developing our children.
