The following activities run year-round and raise money for future M2T trips:

  • M&M Beverage, on Main Street in Montpelier, accepts donations of returnable cans and bottles. Just tell them that you'd like to donate them to the Montpelier to Thailand Project!
  • Wood-Stacking crew available! Contact Linda Wheatley to describe the job and she'll line up an appropriate crew around your schedule. Then you make a donation to M2T valued according to what the job was worth to you.
  • Your donation of any size will be gratefully accepted and acknowledged. If you would like to help students go to Southeast Asia to experience a life-altering, cross-cultural immersion experience, please select an amount and a checkout process below.
Your donations are tax deductible under our 501c3 non-profit status.

Staying in our village was a wonderful lesson in humility. After the first few hours of stumbling through daily life,  you quickly come to terms with the fact that you will not do anything right, ever, and that, yes, those 4-year-old Thai girls are laughing at you. Once you make that realization, the rest of the stay is infinitely easier. This is not to say that the Thai people are mean or condescending, it is rather a demonstration of their zest for life, as they find humor and joy in nearly any situation.

I know from my reading that Thais hate conflict and love to laugh. Believing that laughter can defuse pain and embarrassment, they see humor in situations that westerners would not. Something about our dancing is apparently pretty funny, and we are now laughing, too.
