We women foundation

i spent the day at We women foundation.  it's an NGO focused on providing educational opportunities for marginalized women from Burma.  the founder is from Holland and the organization has an office there as well as in Chiang Mai.  they do a fantastic job with the resources they have and plan to release a documentary about their work at the end of the year.

The We women foundation is dedicated to empowering women from marginalized ethnic areas in Burma. By providing professional and educational opportunities to the strong women of Burma, the We women foundation strives to build capacity within the marginalized communities in Burma so that women can make and influence policy decisions which are too often made by outsiders.  

i've sorted out the reservation to the Elephant Nature Park and the hotel insists there is no problem with my reservation so i'm really excited to be spending the next week with the elephants.
