Dear Khru Dam and Yupin,
It was a blessing to be able to see you again in this New Year of life! Carol and I were very happy to see you both in good health and bright spirit especially in light of the hard circumstances you have been through in 2015. We are impressed with your resilient lives - you are an encouragement to us and others around you!
Thank you for the sweet Holland papaya and the delicious pickled mango - what a treat to go along with your warm hospitality!
I also appreciate your suggestion and offer to help introduce me to your cousin at the LaNgu District Administrative Office. I really like your idea and am now working on getting some documentation for our Peace Communities Foundation and a Thai translation of our Peace Bridge Community Development Project together. After I have done this and return from my travel to the Philippines next month, I am looking forward to recontacting you and meeting with your cousin.
Until the next time we meet, may you have good health and peace!
Gratefully,
Leith
