Little Beds and a Coffee Pot


Ok, so in response to Morgan's comment I figured I would give some details about where I am and who I am with. The organization I am volunteering for is called COSA. Basically, they are all about prevention of  trafficking. They serve as a shelter for girls who are vunerable to becoming victims to the traffickers here in Thailand. There are about 15 girls here. The youngest is 4 and the oldest is 16. There are 4 volunteers. Roger, Chelsey, Tayna, and ME! Then there is Laura, who I think of as a volunteer, but technically she is staff. All 5 of us sleep together in the same room. We have little beds and a coffee pot, which is pretty much all I need! I will be putting up pictures probably in a week or so. We have more than that though, but it's hard to explain, so I will let the pictures do the talking once I'm able to upload them.




Roger took me out on the motorcycle today. We rode through the village and it was so beautiful! There are these pretty rice fields and banana trees. My favorite is the mountains. I will have to put up pictures of this too. It is amazing! Also, right now is rainy season. So it has rained at least 5 times today. It is sort of a drag, but you get used to it. There are these local markets, which are similar to our flea markets, but here they happen all the time and everywhere. They are so much fun. They sell everything. From clothes, to fruit you've never heard of, to live fish, and to pig heads (yes, very gross).

So yes, in short, that is what it is like here. I'm sure you will appreciate the pictures more than my description, but I try. Well I must be going! I miss you all!!!

Loveeeee :)
