Meet Sia
Meet Sia.
She is a lot like me.
She is a young woman in her twenties.
She likes movies, and friends, and children.
She will be attending graduate school in the fall at Azusa Pacific University.
But she is a little different. First, she is from an Akha hill tribe family from Chiang Rai, Thailand. She has spent the last 4 years working for Compasio in Mae Sot, one of the rougher border towns in Thailand. There she works with Thai and Burmese street kids, orphans and prison babies. It is an uphill battle for these kids, and for her. This is the kind of place where volunteers get burned out. But Sia is not quite a volunteer. She is a person affected by this conflict helping others affected by this conflict. This is part of her story.
And now she wants to go to school. She wants to learn about non-profit management so she can go back and give her people a fighting chance- from the inside out. But she needs help. Sia is intelligent and warm. She is resilient and determined. Sia is the kind of person that could one day help to put back together the pieces. Sia is the kind of person we should be supporting, any way we know how.
