Wow... It's hard to believe that a year has already gone by since I packed up my bags and headed to the Udon Thani Orphanage to love some awesome kids. Now as I sit in the warm weather of Thailand... I can't wait to greet the team and see the kids again.
Yep... we have a team of 30 people heading to the Udon Thani orphanage again this year. Five of us are going ahead for some prep work and the remaining team leaves Seattle on Sunday, March 29, 2009 for 18 hour plane ride to Bangkok and then flying another 1.5 hours to Udon Thani the following days.
If you are wondering how you can help... ..pray... .pray... .pray... but also follow this blog to see what is happening. Also, you can still donate some of the following items up to March 28, 2009 or just provide funds so the following items can be purchased for the orphanage while the team is in Udon Thani.
1. Toys.
2. Shoes.
3. Drawing books.
4. Color pens and pencils.
5. Plastic swim pools for the 2-5 year olds. (Chase is going to love this.) We can purchase while we are over there.
6. Clothes for kids newborn to 20 years old.
Whew who.... Cheers! Joy Allen

I'll definitely be following your trip as we just came back on Jan. 10th after adopting our daughter from the Udon Thani Girls' Home. Because the adoption is not finalized we are not able to give her name or post her photo on the internet. But, she does know you and you have definitely planted seeds in her heart. Thank you!!!
I am wondering where this orphanage is and if it might be possible to talk with you or email about bringing over a group to volunteer there this winter... I'd love an email or call about location and contact info to arrange participating in volunteer work there! thanks emily 7172090290 emilyphillips@soul-continuum.com
