I have spent time in 47 countries in the last dozen years some multiple times I have never been to Thailand, but I have a deep respect for their culture and religion, I know they are some very good people and seeing you help them in the most remote places inspires me. I hope that I can visit Thailand soon and we can collaborate and do something just like this a Christmas video like this warms my heart I love seeing the joy of children that least expected anything like this, they are the most deserving. Thank you also to the sponsor of this video and God bless his wife and his good heart and what she instilled in him to help these people there is still more to be done, and these people are so pure and deserve it. God bless and thank you for this.

Ryan, 47 countries and Thailand isn’t on your list? Oh this makes me sad as I’ve been to 30 countries only in part because I keep returning to Thailand. It’s my FAVORITE country in all of Asia. Please make it a point to help,out in the northern region because many are from Burma (now Myanmar) and cannot return to their country because it’s not safe to live there anymore due to civil war. Many have moved to Thailand. The Thai ppl are so very gracious and hard working. Please make it a priority. Thailand needs you, so do the very poor children from Myanmar

I visitedhilltribe and jungle villages in Northern Thailand in the 70's and no schools were available then whatsmore education was not even considered an option. Many kids suffered from malnutrition, and ilness and injury mostly cared for by local shaman and family. So much has changed for the better of social welfare over the last 50 years throughout Thailand despite coups and financial setbacks. I am so proud of their resilience.

I knew your really feeling after watch this best VDO form Chris ❤
My first trip to this area was in 2005. I visited a refuge camp outside of Mae Sariang. Our focus was on 50 orphans who watched their parents murdered, raped or enslaved by the Burmese Army. It was heart wrenching. I took a pediatrician with me who gave the children health check up. I have returned to northern Thailand 30 times since then. I decide to live below my means to free up money to share with those in need.
Once again you've made a grown man cry. I hope that this will inspire enough people to make a difference. Merry Christmas to you, your beautiful wife Haley and the rest of your family.
