37.House of Union” Children's Home and Boarding House – Chiang  Rai

The hill tribes of northern Thailand are some of the poorest and most uneducated people in the country. They have few skills and often no Thai citizenship, which gives hardly any opportunity to improve their living standards. House of Union provides currently provides care for 14 children and orphans from hill tribe villages. These children often have no family members to care for them or come from families that are too poor to provide for their daily needs. At House of Union, their goal is to provide them with basic needs and an opportunity to get a better education by attending school in town, while also sharing the Gospel together and learning about Jesus. The cultural exchange resulting from your teams visit will bless the kids and enrich your lives as well! Opportunities include working with the kindergarten teacher to teach English and make teaching materials; helping with housework, like cooking, cleaning, and laundry; cultivating the vegetable garden; and improving the appearance of the house and classroom...all with the goal of helping the children feel comfortable and secure in their home. There is also the opportunity to join the children in church activities, including doing ministry with the hill tribe church in the mountain villages where many of the children come from. There are other opportunities as well such as helping to repair and paint the church, or even build a fence! The opportunities are endless to come and show love to kids who so desperately need it!

Vision
– To receive more workers who have a heart for evangelism. To assist students who can't afford education (4-12 years old) and to disciple them and send them back to their village where they can share the love of Jesus with all.
