We are currently in the process of planning an intensive month-long trip to Thailand and Burma for Summer 2008. This trip will consist of five qualified and committed individuals who will lay the groundwork for eleho’s future presence on the ground in Burma and surrounding regions. While there are many objectives for this trip, our primary goal is to develop and maintain relationships with key individuals in the community that can help facilitate an effective aid partnership. As we continue our dialogue with the Karen people, we will come to a better understanding of how we can serve them. Our time in Burma will also give us the opportunity to communicate with other NGOs on the ground, discuss what they’re presently doing to aid the people, potential partnerships that could emerge and, from their experience, see what the most effective and efficient ways are to use our resources for benefit.
