Computer Work Team Off To Thailand





I had the wonderful privilege in joining 18 other volunteers under the auspices of Wycliffe Associates, from July 12-26. Our task was to unpack and assemble over 100 new computers for Grace International School, in Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. In addition, we repaired old computers for donation to various ministries.

In one picture I am installing some new application, and updating newer programs, in a high school teacher's classroom.

I joined a group of 3 other volunteers where we went to the town of Pai, and donated one computer to a church. The lady in front of this church is a Bible student with YWAM.

The next stop was to the town of Mae Hong Son, where we donated 3 computers to a girl's orphanage. We were told by our driver with a very straight face, that the zig zag road from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son had 1,674 turns.

Some of the volunteers are seen in front of the Grace International School, where we had the privilege of assisting their computer ministry. Our brief stay in Thailand will dearly be remembered, and our labor was done solely for the consummate glory of the Holy One !
