DtonNaam helps Thai individuals leave the s*x industry and rebuild their lives.

10/31/2026

"My favorite memory this summer was seeing two of my old students in their new jobs. I worked with DtonNaam two summers ago and built a close friendship with two students at the time. They had both recently joined the program and I got to see them explore their personalities and passions in really beautiful and healing ways during that summer. When I arrived to Bangkok this summer, I learned that both students had completed the program and were now working at tea shops in the city. I was so excited to hear this and visited both of them at their tea shops during my last week in Thailand. It was awesome to see them in action in their new lives and see the result of the Lord's, DtonNaam's, and their hard work! It was such an encouraging and uplifting experience for me!"

Please meet Atom, our newest team member!! She is our new Office Manager and this is her first "real" job, as she graduated recently. She is learning everything, such as English book-keeping; Thai laws, various government offices, office & HR processes, and more. She's already teaching two classes per week to our current students and transitioning in well. It's been fun getting to know her. She's sweet, patient and curious, and we are excited to have her on our team.

Atom says she was drawn to Dton Naam's vision and compassion for a group often misunderstood and overlooked; wanting to learn more. She's been so relational already with team, students and during outreach.

Healing often has a creative element awakened. We have an art class weekly, whether it's drawing, crafting, painting, or intentionally art therapy, it's fun to see our students grow and create.

For boys (and trans) who have learned that people can take, manipulate, or harm, healing may begin with something as simple as discovering that another person can be a safe place/person, someone able to understand, listen, and hope with them.

Our team (and two volunteers) are connecting with new contacts this week.
Let the trust and healing ignite...

Outreach nights... there's been some really unique opportunities lately for our team in two different red light areas. Last week, we met with 3 over the age of 50, while the majority of the others were in their early 20s.

We offer a listening ear, a kind understanding, a respectful, safe friendship when they often are treated the opposite, more like commodities... hoping to start a class with a few soon.

Learning about seeds, planting and which ones need different soil, time, sun, etc to grow well... it feels a little symbolic of one of our youngest students being "launched" into a new job last week. He spent some days training there last month, and the new job decided to hire him full time. He's a little nervous still but absolutely capable.

Thank you to those who helped invest is this student this past year! He's grown a lot and we are all excited to see his next steps.

It started raining hard last Thursday and didn't let up until Saturday pm...
- two of our students had floodwater inside their homes
- three of our staff (and another student) had flooding surrounding their homes/streets (but didn't enter their houses thankfully)
- The Dton Naam building has some bad leaks but no flooding
- it's been a week now, and two of our staff have not been able to leave homes yet due to flooded streets and areas.
(Many friends and ngos have been impacted too- see below- but there's also been so many helping each other).

They are expecting more rain next week!
And- our friends in Cambodia are experiencing flooding too.

"Flooding remains active across 29 provinces and Bangkok, affecting more than 2.6 million people, while the cumulative death toll since September 16 has risen to 23, according to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM).

In its situation report issued at 6am on Tuesday (September 29, 2026), the department said flooding continued across 167 districts, 890 subdistricts and 5,077 villages, affecting 940,300 households and 2,602,309 people.

Since September 16, a total of 42 provinces and Bangkok have experienced flooding. DDPM reported 23 deaths and no injuries." - The Nation

"Hi everyone, this is Gik, the Country Director of Dton Naam. As I wrap up my time with Dton Naam and prepare to move forward into a new journey, I would like to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to all of you.

For the past three years, I have been incredibly blessed and supported by your generous giving and faithful prayers. Throughout these three years, I have experienced so many new things—some filled with fun and laughter, and others with challenges and tears. Through it all, I know that God has been working, and everything has been for His glory. Your support and prayers have meant so much to me, and I am truly grateful. I also thank the Lord for giving me the opportunity to meet some of you face-to-face. It has been such a blessing to have those moments together.

As I begin this new chapter, I would ask you to please continue to pray for and support Dton Naam’s team as they continue serving and faithfully hanging in there on the ground.

May God bless you all!"

Our team teaches several classes throughout the week. During the summer, the awesome ladies came to our building to teach our staff and students some of their beautiful skills.

Our summer interns Ethan & Lauren were so fun and had some creative classes for our students throughout it all, including science, health, dance and even went to a free art exhibit.
