Mae Sot (Natasha)

Written by

A couple of weeks ago God granted us the amazing opportunity to go to a Burmese refugee camp and visit the Avoda sister school in Mae Sot. It’s a two hour ride from Tak. It was AMAZING and showed us how different the lives of Burmese refugee families are compared to the Thai. Their living conditions, as you would expect, are not the greatest. This community is compromised mostly of Muslims, so it is by God’s grace that so many children are allowed by their parents to go to Avoda, a Christian school.

When we got to the school however, the joy that the children displayed did not reflect their poor living conditions. They were full of glee and happiness! They were quick to bond with us and were ready to play all sorts of games.

I think every single one of us left a little piece of our heart in Mae Sot. We don’t know what their future holds…hard labor? Slavery? Our hope and our prayer is that their parents will give them the opportunity to complete their education and continue going to Avoda where they can learn about God and His power. We look forward to the day we can go back and visit!
