Yesterday in Ban Thin, we had the privilege of providing both distance and reading glasses to villagers—bringing clearer vision and immediate relief to many.
Later in the day, we assessed a local school in urgent need of reconstruction, along with a well that must be deepened to ensure reliable access to water. The school is also without a proper toilet facility, highlighting additional needs we hope to address.
The eyeglasses were generously funded by our partners at Thailand, Laos, Cambodia Brotherhood (TLC-Brotherhood.org), a group of military veterans who served during the Vietnam War and continue to make a lasting impact in the region.
Today, we return to the school to deliver much-needed school supplies for the children (also provided by TLCB)—always one of the most meaningful and memorable parts of our trip.
