Pictures and Letters for Foster Parents

Two members of the executive board of Thaicare e.V. in Germany, traveled this July to Thailand in order to check on Rraintree’s Foster Program. The roads to Raintree’s Projects in the Doi Inthanon area, were in critical condition, since the severe rainfalls have caused several landslides. We were more than happy when we finally and safely arrived at the Children’s Home in Mae Na Chorn.

At first we were not sure if we could reach the home of several foster children, since they live in quite remote places but we made it, thankfully, and had a good time with the children. We were able to exchange letters from the foster parents to the children and vise-versa. It was a great and adventurous trip and we would like to thank all the foster parents, who share their resources to make a difference in those children and families lives.
