After several years in operation, we are extremely gratified to observe wonderful fruit as our precious rescued children grow and mature. Now these children are able to plan for the future, thanks to the help of wonderful, caring people like you. Your generous donations pave the way for them, turning their dreams into real possibilities.

Caring for each individual child as we have been given the honor to protect and provide for them as they grow into maturity.
Good Life Campus includes:
Fish farm to provide for the needs of not only the GLH but also to market so they can learn a trade and the satisfaction of being able to provide for their needs.
- Rice patty that will help the GLH to be self-sufficient with enough supply to be able to give to those in need.
- Neighborhood playground that will be a central place to build lasting fun.
It is Serving Our World’s intention to provide on going learning opportunities based on the individual’s goals and ambitions, whether it is to attend college or to get a job. If the child has extended family either in the local area or within the country Serving Our World, through trained nationals, will work to provide the opportunity for counseling to strengthen the
family structure so that eventually restoration can be achieved for the child or sibling’s future.
Serving Our World also aims to maintain an on going relationship with community leaders and families to help mentor and provide the assistance and the skill training necessary to empower them to benefit their individual lives.
Good Life Home Skill Training Center
There was much excitement as we held the Grand Opening of our new Skill Training Center. This expansion to our campus will offer training for the children living in the Good Life Home who have been rescued. In this facility we have four classrooms that each open into four micro business vocational training shops.
Here girls, boys and even adults will have the chance to reach their destiny as we make available training in start up and management of a local a store or mini mart, teaching the basic skills of running a shop, keeping track of inventory and every aspect to becoming a successful storeowner.
We also have a computer shop and offer training with educational software donated from a popular company in USA, offering everything from learning the Microsoft products, to safe internet, to accounting and graphic design! There will also be training for boys in welding and small engine repair, as well as a Beauty Shop for girls to learn to cut and style hair. Something to meet every child’s interest!
Children’s Outreaches
As this Thai village outreach started it began slowly, with few in attendance. Now after several years of being committed and consistent many children are receiving assistance and are enjoying meals, education and music as we are able to share each week.
The area leaders and Chiefs we have met with are so thankful for all the progress they have seen themselves in the children. It wasn’t long ago during one of these times of fellowship the area Chief, responsible for thirteen villages, told me, “We are seeing so many good things as a result of the project whatever we can do please let us know.”
For us the success is when we hear such great reports from officials and the wonderful staff we have in each location. But it is also seen on the faces of the many children we have come to know and love in each location. Children happy and enjoying what our supporters have helped us do each month is the joy we have in serving others.
Community Events
Through out the year we host special events to help create “Gathering” times to help strengthen whole communities. Sometimes the event will center on a National holiday or an International holiday like Christmas. It is here working together with village Chiefs, who know what the needs are in the community and with area leaders, that whole villages attend to enjoy a hosted meal and local entertainment.
With the help of our donors we have been able to give out hygiene products, blankets, supplies and special gifts for the children and families in great need.
Serving Our World is all about what can be done to strengthen families and the children that are in need. Children need just one or a whole group who can lend a hand and lift them to a higher level. Won’t you come alongside and help a child build for a better future?
Today, will you help rebuild the lives of children that have suffered and that need each of us to be involved. Your donation provides the food, clothes and all they need to enjoy the Good Life now!
