We are excited to report that 14 months and 10 days after filing the paperwork to apply for Fon's citizenship, she finally got her official Thai Identity card!! We are very excited that this process is completed for her and she will have many more opportunities available to her. Attached is her excited face behind a mask showing off her new card! Fon is an excellent student, with almost straight A's for her whole academic career so far. She is in 10th grade now and with her new card will be able to get scholarships to attend university! We are very thankful for Mimi and Donut, our two new staff members, who took her to pick up her card.
Since we have begun our partnership with Waterford Community Church, we have expanded our cases significantly. We get calls nearly weekly asking for help with a case. Some cases we are able to provide funding for transportation, some cases we take on ourselves and some cases we give advice for next steps to take for families or foundations trying to help kids in their program.
Heather will be traveling to the US to visit Waterford Church in May and share all the exciting updates in our citizenship cases. We appreciate your support as well! Thank you for helping us help children reach their full potential.
