Hill tribe students

Danny has been in Thailand for many years. During our time in the North we were blessed to spend time with people and groups that were solely out to care for people in need. In this area of Thailand there are many poor hill tribe people that are not and have not been integrated into Thai society in the past. It is still difficult for people from these hill tribes to get national ID cards that allow them to travel to other provinces and go to university.

This is a school and living area that houses and educates hill tribe students, many of which have very little money. The principal is a guy from the US that decided to move here and help these children. When he arrive the children we in really bad shape with little food, and very little leadership. The kids took care of themselves and it was a really bad envirorment for them, being at the mercy of the strongest. Now the school is doing much better and our friend has had a hug impact in the lives of these students.

They asked Danny to lead worship because Danny and Dtaan are very talented. Danny and Dtaan are really focused on producing music written by Thais, much of it worship that is really needed and helpful to churches around Thailand, rather than just translating English songs.
