Chiang Mai is much smaller than Bangkok, but it’s still one of the major tourist destinations in Thailand. The old town is surrounded by a moat and remnants of the old city wall that was built 700 years ago to protect against Burmese invaders.
In Chiang Mai, I spent quite a bit of time with the Greens who are friends from my church.
Roger and Joanne Green and 2 of their 5 kids, Ester and Nathan.
Nathan volunteers at the RICD Wheelchair Project where underprivileged people can get free mobility aid. The project was founded in 2000 and has distributed over 4,000 wheelchairs as well as other devices such as canes, crutches, walkers, and rollators. Many of the wheelchairs are donated from overseas companies due to the fact that they may have some minor flaw. Usually the volunteers are able to repair the chair so that it’s in working condition, although they won’t take any device that is unsafe. For more information, go to www.wheelchairproject.com
The Maesa Elephant Camp was founded in 1976 with five elephants with a concern for health care and breeding. Today they have over seventy elephants.
