More than Travelling

I was born in Thailand but not in the big city Bangkok but in a province named Udon thani Udon thani is located in Northeast of Thailand. I love traveling. How do I can travel around Thailand without any mission? And I am a woman. It’s not safe to go alone. I’ve been to Northeast last week….Burirum, Khotrat, Sakon Nakon, Nakon Pranom, Mukdahan and Khon Kean. Wow!!! 6 provinces I can visit all those provinces because I have mission. The Topic is More than Traveling…I’m not only just want to visit the villages and travel But I am volunteer. We go to visit the children in the poor villages to help them to go to school. I thought their problem is just poor. I’m wrong!! Many families have a problem seem as the city people “Divorce”. I had a chance to interview the children most of them live with grand-parents because their parents need to go to work (Casual work) in the city some people never come back home, remarried or disappeared, some send money back home and come back when the raining season come to work as a farmer. Most of them have no their own land. They need to rent other by share the product to land’s owner. Now is raining season all of the filed is green. The weather was so nice and fresh. I can breathe deeply. For 4 days 6 provinces…I’ve learning not only villager’s life I also learn to know more about myself….I’m child who is growing up :)
