Foster parent visits her foster child in Mae Hong Song

Last week we were privileged to organize yet another visit in our foster program. A foster parent from Germany wanted to visit her foster daughter in the Mae Hong Son province. This time the child received a very nice pencil case and some other coloring utensils.
Stefan from the Raintree team accompanied our visitor from Germany since our foster children mostly live in remote places, where the average tourist won’t visit. The ride from Chiang Mai to our foster children takes about 4 hours. After the visit at the foster child’s house, Stefan showed our visitor a few tourist attractions and passed by our children’s home in Mae Na Chorn, where the guesthouse and restaurant ‘Hot Coffee’ is located. http://www.hotcoffee-th.org After a good night at the guesthouse, Stefan brought our guest safely and soundly back to Chiang Mai. Once more, we were able to witness the impact that our foster program has on the disadvantaged children in Thailand. A big Thank You to all our foster parents.
