a. To help encourage minority language preservation in Thailand and beyond, Wycliffe Thailand Foundation has established a training centre in the city of Mukdahan. This month, I travelled to Mukdahan for five days to meet the teams working there. While there, I was able to help prepare materials for a literacy teacher training workshop for one disadvantaged minority people group. This training workshop will train 10 teachers for five villages and give hundreds of children the opportunity to read their own language. Yo, the project director and the local staff were so encouraged to have someone from another country come and see the work they are doing. The director’s husband said, “We feel this is the best job in the world. There is nothing we would rather be doing than serving this people whom the rest of the world has neglected until now.”
