My Study Tour to Thailand and Cambodia with American Jewish World Service (AJWS)
Hi everyone! I’ve completed the first leg of my journey and am now at LAX. Coming into LA, the smoke is very thick and fires are still visible from the air. My route for the trip is CVG - LAX - Taipei - Bangkok - Chang Rai. I left Cincinnati at 9am today (Friday) and arrive in Chang Rai Thailand at 3PM on Sunday. AJWS is an international development organization motivated by Judaism’s imperative to pursue justice. Through grants to grassroots organizations, volunteer service, advocacy and education, AJWS fosters civil society, sustainable development and human rights for all people, while promoting the values and responsibilities of global citizenship within the Jewish community. The group meets up in Chang Rai Sunday night and Monday morning we visit the Golden Triangle (borders Thailand, Burma, and Laos) and meet with grantees of AJWS. Stay tuned for my (hopefully) daily entrys and pictures…from afar.
