I am a Christian worker in Thailand. I just heard of a pastor in Thailand, whose 2 yr old daughter was severely burned in a pot of boiling water, shortly after he signed up to be a center for Compassion. His family is getting lots of persecution for helping girls avoid prostitution, He is in a big spiritual battle over this. Please pray for little Sophia who is severely burned. She is in the hospital for treatment, in a lot of pain, and has the risk of severe infection because of her burns.Praise our god for His compassion on us. I just heard about Compassion today!

Its great to see organizations like yours step up to the plate. At the Genesis Network, we are greatly involved with building schools along the Burmese/Thai border through various initiatives. Feel free to visit us at gnetwork.org. Best of luck and continued success.

It is good to hear about how Compassion Thailand is really engaging the culture and doing what they can to empower these girls to make good, well-informed, and healthy choices for themselves. I pray they continue to receive the wisdom of God as they perform this vital work in Thailand! Wow, this human trafficking is so sad and disturbing to hear about.

If you aren't aware, you can earn money for Compassion by going to www.goodsearch.com when you need to search for information on any topic. You will need to designate the charity you wish to receive the money. Yes, it's only a penney a search but think of how much that would amount to if every sponsor used goodsearch for their searches.

Most importantly, is our priviledge to pray to our God who cares even more for these children then we could ever comprehend. We will so blessed to be able to daily lift these precious ones up in prayer. "What you do onto the least of these you do also unto me."

I sponsor as many kids as I can afford because I look at an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I am so thankful God has raised up Compassion to help in this area.

I was lucky, my family didn't live in poverty, I was protected and never exposed to any types of 'human trafficking'. My parents brought me to the U.S. to have a better opportunity. I'm glad I can give back. I, too, sponsor children, in hopes to create a better opportunity. Awareness of this kind of activity should be made very Vocal! There are many out there who doesn't believe Human Trafficking still exists. That's dangerous denial. It’s sad that this still happens.

It must be hard for them to resist when they are in such poverty. Because they are so young and don't understand the long term consequences. God bless Compassion workers in Thailand, and I pray that he keeps you strong and you can persevere in this difficult task.

You figure with inflation, their buying power is about the same. Devastating! And they are such a warm and lovely people. I am sure Thailand is the same. @Mike
