Spot Light District

The Sot light district was obvious as we walked through the entertainment part of the world and that in itself was heartbreaking and troubling. In Chang Mai as well as Bangkok the horrors of Human trafficking were evident. We even learned that when many of the factories closed due to the attention laced on sweatshops a few years ago more and more women had to turn to prostitution, Those empty factories sit there and wait empty- could there be more jobs could be created to help? Questions we as a team are asking ourselves as we seek out our role in Thailand.
