I belong to a quilt group which meets once a week on Tuesdays. From the group I learn a lot about quilts including where to shop in Bangkok. I will let you in on our best kept secrets!
The ladies in our quilt group are busy sewing quilts for kids in need. Recently Linda sent 5 of our quilts to a newly built orphanage in Phrae, Thailand. It’s called Ban Meata which means House of Mercy. They take in children and babies who are in risk or crisis situations or have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS. Financial support for Mercy International’s operations comes from individuals, clubs, businesses and churches in Australia and other countries. They run three orphanages in Thailand in Khon Kaen, Petchabun and Phrae.
Wendy from Mercy International tells us, “Additionally, if you are interested in supporting one of our other homes in the future, it is based in the province of Petchabun and currently they have 90+ orphan kids in care there, ranging from 18 months thru to 16 years of age. I am sure they would treasure a quilt each too! Thanks so much for blessing the kids in our care.”
