Vern's Story
Life
My wife and I live a little bit north of Chiang Rai, Thailand about 30 miles south of the Burmese border. We have a home for "girls at risk". At present we have 31 on site and 7 attending university. These girls are from six different ethnic groups and they range in age from 5 thru 20. These girls are mostly from the hill tribes and are at risk from being sold into prostitution, hum/traf, extreme poverty, drug usage in their home or village, sexual and/or physical abuse, etc.
I/we have four natural children and 8 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren residing in the US.
In January, 1995, we spent the first half of our vacation in the Philippines then headed north and spent another 30 days in Thailand. ...Expand for more
Arriving states side in early March, we sold our business, home, furniture, everything actually and went back to Thailand basically as social workers working on women and children's issues. In 1998 we started our specialized home for girls truly at risk. What we thought would be a 2-5 year venture has wound up being 18+ years.
We would like to extend an open invitation to any graduate of Albany Union High School (West Albany) to visit. We can take you into the mountain hill tribes as well as a boat trip into the Golden Triangle. Please note that this offer is not open or recommended during March or April because these are the months that the Opium crops are harvested and it's not really that safe.
Thanks-Vern
