As a single parent with a 9yr and 5 yr old your lifestyle changes. I now for the time less time to explore and research.
So instead on reviews and places to explore will write about my experience as an expat. Divorced from a legal marriage, custody battle and navigating education system here as a non Thai reader or speaker.
So my magazine take a sight detour for now.
Will still write and try to bring awareness of human trafficking.
Will show case my photography as a source of income for us.
Located here in Phuket, Thailand. Serves a great need and we happy to support. Hope you too will support by sharing, volunteer, or donations.
Asia Center Foundation (ACF) helps disadvantaged children through different programs from 3 to 18 years old. From a pre-school, to sports programs, ACF enables children to develop themselves in many ways.
Why are so many children out of school?
Children who live in extreme poverty face many barriers to education including:
Child labor or having to work to add to the family income, or care for younger siblings
Low family income and therefore inability to afford school fees or supplies
Disruptive family circumstances (death, divorce, children left with grandparents)
No birth certificates
What is ACF doing to help disadvantaged children gain access to quality education?
Asia Center Foundation created many programs to help children and their parents deal with difficult situations for Thai and Burmese children from 3 to 18 years old. These include:
ThePatong Childcare Centerfor 3 to 6 year old children from Patong and Kathu area provides them a safe, secure environment where they can learn (many for the first time) to follow a set routine, to obey rules, to develop their creativity and to behave in a social environment with children of their age.
Scholarship Programfor children between 7 to 18 in the Phang Nga and Phuket provinces provides support and encouragement to families facing financial and social problems whose children benefit from the scholarship program.
Full care in a “safe house” calledBan Sii Somfor children whose home environments are not safe or suitable for children.
JumpStartLearning Center for Burmese children who come from at-risk and poor families and for various reasons, who cannot attend Thai government schools.
The ACFYouth Program that focuses on Primary school students varying between the ages of 8 and 12 serves as a platform for life skills training, leadership and sports development.

I have lived in Thailand over 10 years and you cant miss seeing the sex trade even if you are not looking for it. Not just Phuket, but Pattaya Bangkok and rest of Thailand. Most of the girls are from Issan or North East Thailand. That is the poorest area if Thailand. The Thai culture is the daughter is responsible for taking care of her parents in old age. That today has translated to taking care of all the family. The daughter thru peer pressure culture pressure to provide money no matter the cost to herself. Brothers will have a family, home . While often the sister gives up her life. I have seen it. Holiday daughter comes home with the money while the father and brothers take the money get drunk play cards.
Human trafficking is a serious crime. Often a person trying to escape is tortured or killed.
There are many legitimate well organized NGO that can and will help.
We do not recommend this NGO.
If you need help or know someone that needs help in Thailand.
We do not suggest this NGO at this time.
We suggest A21 , Zoe international for children. Also Nightlight in Bangkok are excellent legitimate NGO.
What can be done!
For Freedom International is a organization that offers the girls a chance to break away.
About For Freedom. Text is from their web site.
About Us
About FFI
For Freedom International started with a dream to see the marginalized, vulnerable, and exploited set free from the injustice of oppression. That dream has drawn our team from around the globe to Thailand, a truly beautiful country in the throes of combatting human trafficking and sexual exploitation. FFI has begun our work in the province of Phuket, one of the largest sex tourism destinations in Southeast Asia, and we’re implementing our holistic approach outward, trusting God to bring freedom and hope to the people of Phuket, to the rest of Thailand, to Southeast Asia, and back to those living in the West.

Sponsor a Student
You can come along side of one of our vocational training participants and journey through her process of restoration.
I learned about the school and the need when a friend ask me to join her to go to Pak Ping Church in Phang-Nga Thailand. Located just north of Phuket Island. She was giving the sermon that morning. If you are at Khao Lak for a holiday , they speak english so a friendly place for tourist.
But today I want to write about Khao Lak Christian Bilingual School Project which Pak Ping Church is building. Their goal and the need for the school.
We support this project. Please donate if possible and share the information.
There is a preschool there now but in process of building a primary English language school.
In our journey in life. There is beauty all around us. Sadly also much sadness uglyness. Hate. We all experience and see this. In my photography I try to show the beauty of life as I see it. I have loved much and had great heartache. But thankful for even the heartache as I learn from them.
We can decide to see and focus on the beauty and love around us or become cynical or have a cold heart. I have always chosen beauty and love. I hope I do that the rest of my journey of life.
Sample of some of the beauty that I see in my everyday life.
Beauty of family and my kids
Some of my photography is with my phone and Adobe apps . The rest I process on my Mac with Adobe.
