Trouble in Thailand

The situation in Thailand has become worse and worse since the flooding began and AGF last blogged. Seeing the photos all over the news and hearing that over 700 people have died in the floods in Southeast Asia as a whole (BBC)  is shocking and disheartening for us at AGF. We are keeping Thailand in our thoughts at this time. We encourage you to donate to AGF as we try to rebuild efforts in the field and strengthen the communities we work with as they face the challenges of these floods.

Thanks so much, AGF readers, for your continued support. Without clean, safe work spaces, sturdy materials, and roads that enable transportation and delivery, the artisans we work with in Chian Mai, Khon Khaen, and Mae Chaem cannot continue to grow their businesses and provide environmentally sustainable items.
