		<description><![CDATA[You did this.

You made this possible.

Thanks to your generosity in December we were able to send enough money for all of the children to have beds, and warm clothes and new shoes.


This wouldn&#8217;t have happened without you, your care, your partnership. Without you there is no Charis Project.
Thank-you for everything.
We&#8217;re looking forward to some really [...]]]></description>

Some of you have asked us if there is something extra you could do this Christmas for the kids in the Charis Home. So we asked Chala what they need.
His answer was,&#8221;Beds, shoes, and warm clothes.&#8221;
The children sleep right now on thin mats on the concrete floor.
It is very cold for them now in this [...]]]></description>

Much of the time, policy makers and activists put a lot of focus on getting people out of slavery. Considering the number of people who are in slavery, which again is conservatively put at 27 million and is likely quite higher, this is absolutely critical. However, surprisingly little consideration and focus is [...]]]></description>

Khlong Lan.  About 27 miles away from the Thai/Myanmar (Burma) border. Hot and sweaty. 260 miles from Chiang Mai.

The marble shark circles.

The marble shark spots his prey.

From the deep, the marble shark surges toward the unsuspecting seal.

DING! DING! DING! DING! WINNER! WINNER! WINNER!

We together are the champions.
