SEATECT sponsored a trip to Mae Sot 14 – 16 January. It was a great success.
This time we traveled in 2 cars rather than renting a van. There was a total of 7 who made the trip and we were joined by 2 more in Mae Sot. The only challenge was our plan to have dinner at the Chimney Restaurant was thwarted because they were closed. On Thursday evening we had dinner at Canadian Dave’s, and all enjoyed the evening.
While the sign at Chimney said they would be open on the 15th we were again disappointed when we attempted to go there for lunch. No Big E. Everyone enjoyed the Border Line Cafe.
On Wednesday Morning we went to Mae Tao Clinic where we participated in Rotary Appreciation Day to celebrate the completion of an International Rotary District Grant to support Mae Tao Clinic Neonatal ward.
--- One small project completed!
Our tour members also enjoyed a tour of the Mae Tao Clinic campus.
--- One of my favorite signs!
--- Motivation to fight human trafficking!
--- Patients waiting to be seen
The afternoon of the 15th found us at the Passport Restaurant where we had a human trafficking awareness event including a very informative talk by Burma Children’s Fund leaders, a film and dinner.
The event was very well received, and we intend to repeat the trip in about 4 months. (The tentative dates are 14 – 16 May). Stay tuned!
