Change of Plans

Instead of heading south to the beach, to vacation like I had planned, I am headed back to Mae Sot to help my friend Carl with some video projects. Carl is one of the main reasons I know about Burma and fell in love with the people. He and I have been friends since 7th grade and have yet to hang out in Thailand together.

Carl started Unite for Humanity. Essentially, it is Carl and his wife Leslie committing to a hostel in Mae Sot, Thailand and the well-being of the 127 children living there. They have been involved with the hostel since 2004 and still going strong. Check out their website to see some of the projects they are working on: http://www.uniteforhumanity.com.

Since Abby left this past weekend, I decided the beach wouldn’t be quite as fun alone. What would I do but sit there and spend more money than I need to. Instead we’ll work on getting  some better quality videos up for them and maybe chat about some design stuff with their site and where they want to take their org. It should be a great time and I’m really looking forward to it now! I’ll post some pictures and an update when I get the chance.
