In the eyes of children we meet in the most far away places, we see something. Hope.
We know that at the heart of nearly every person is a longing for a life that is better, a desire see beyond today and a need to regain trust in others.
Unfortunately, without assistance from agencies like World Concern, people who want to get out from under grinding poverty will not have a chance.
What we do matters. And you can help.
THAILAND - Nuu had suffered a lifetime of hurts, abuses, indignities and shame, most of it stemming from her abuse and exploitation as a child.
When asked what she would ask God, if he were sitting beside her, Nuu, a former prostitute, began to cry.
“Where were you when I was young?” she said, as tears streamed down her cheeks. “If I had had help when I was young, I know it would have saved me from taking the wrong path.”
Fortunately, Nuu recently entered a safe haven, a Christian rehab shelter for former prostitutes supported by World Concern in the coastal city of Pattaya, Thailand.
Though her journey is filled with tragic dead-ends, wrong turns and missed opportunities, to grasp the enormity of her present anguish is to know how and where her path began.
