If nothing else, Pray.


I just realised I haven't specified the fact that my upcoming trip will be based at the Thai/ Burma border on the Thailand side. At bit south of Burma itself, but its working mostly with Burmese refugees and displaced people, so the heart for Burma is still getting its fix. Apparently working from inside Burma is very tricky - I would have to leave the country and re-enter every 21 days and living is VERY expensive (a bomby old car would cost about 10 thousand dollars). That's why most aid and mission organisations work out of the surrounding areas. Also the Burmese government is in a rather messy state at present and there is serious genocide going on, though we don't really hear about it in the Western news. please take time to pray for the people of Burma, particular the karen people who are suffering greatly.
