Hey Anita!
I was wondering where else I might be able to look to find more information on what to pack, how much to bring, and how I should get from the airport in Thailand to meet the group on the first day?
Thank you so much for this amazing opportunity, I am so glad that I will get to meet you in person

UgandaOpio Peter Lugai says:

honestly if we had both inner peace and outer peace would we kill others like this? This happened in early 2000 in Uganda , Northern Region a district called Gulu by the Lord Resistance army (LRA) rebel. I hope with this crusade we shall be able to avert this kind of in human act.
