OUR MISSION IS TO MAKE LIFE BETTER FOR THE INNER-CITY POOR THROUGH HOLISTIC EDUCATION
We believe God's good news to the poor is that they are loved by God and created with dignity and strength. We work to give opportunities to the urban poor in the area of holistic education that encourages young and old alike to reach their full, God-given potential.
Thailand, otherwise known as the land of smiles, has been a nation since the dawn of civilization in Asia. To this day, Thailand is the only country in Southeast Asia that has never been colonized by a foreign power. It is a beautiful country with diverse natural landscapes; a rich history and culture; inspiring buildings, both ancient and modern; world famous cuisine; and warm, hospitable people. Thailand is the most Buddhist nation in the world, with roughly 95% of its 65 million people adhering to Folk Buddhism.
