A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT
Santevia Gives Back Program
We have provided most of the operating funds for the House of Faith orphanage in Chiang Dao in northern Thailand for 5 years now. We have visited every year to spend time with the children and provide some extras that were not covered by our monthly remittances. Seventeen children are living in safety, 17 children are not hungry, 17 children have access to schooling and adequate clothing, and 17 children are loved and cared for. We at Santevia were blessed to be able to contribute to their welfare and to their better future.

The tragedy of human trafficking and the House of Faith Orphanage in Thailand were brought to David and Yvonne's attention this year. There are more people in slavery today than at any other time in history, even though slavery was abolished in the western world many years ago! This practice is now called human trafficking, and the victims are most often children, both boys and girls. In Thailand children are taken from or sold by poor families, and many are forced to work in the sex trade. Many of these children, out of desperation, commit suicide before they reach 25!
