sgv habitat in chiang mai, thailand

Our San Gabriel Valley affiliate of Habitat for Humanity recently sent local staff and volunteers to the village of Nong Gon Kru in Chiang Mai. Led by our Executive Director, Sonja Yates, SGVHFH representatives spent six days working on two homes. Along with Sonja were Sandy Yu (our very own Fund Development VISTA), Randy Schenk, Barbara Hudson, Deane Winant, David Baker, Donna Baker, John MacLean, Anna MacLean, Rose McCabe, Nathalie Flores, Anil Verma, Mickey Verma, Pooja Verma and Esther Tam.

The two homes the group worked on were #6, which will be owned by Noppadon Sathipakaem and his family of three, and #7, which will be owned by Chaowarit Sitthichaicarn and his family of five.

Stay posted for personal updates from Sandy, and be sure to read our December newsletter for the full story by Sonja...
