This is a little off topic, but it is about giving...

Yesterday, I was hitting some practice golf balls in my courtyard at my apartment. There were these two little kids watching me who couldn't speak much English, mainly just Spanish.

I asked them if they would like there own golf club to have and play with and they responded very enthusiastic. So I went to my car, grabbed two sand wedges that I hadn't used in a couple years and really had no use for and gave them both a club and a practice ball.

They played with the clubs until it rained out yesterday. I just looked out my window and they are both in the courtyard just swinging away at their practice balls.

To me, that is worth much more than any golf shop could of paid me for the clubs. Trust me, I could of REALLY REALLY used that money too.

^^but Thailand isn't as bad as Laos....i would know, been to both places :)

Love your avatar! lol. You're right but I'm taking my first trip to Asia in October and I wanted to be able to visit "my" kids. I definitely plan on going to Laos down the road.

+1 for Goat Blower.

I like donating with compassion because they do a great job of keeping you updated about what's going on in the ministry.

For any of you ppl that think donating to US organizations is better, I won't discourage your from doing so ;) It all helps.

Congrats!!! I'm waiting for the day to go back to! It's amazing over there and a very eye opening experience. If you think the Lao and Thai food here are good. Wait til you go there... 1000x better. Anyway do you have anybody your staying with or just hopping from hotel to hotel?

Enjoy the tuk tuks! they are awesome! lol

I LOVE Thai food. That's why I chose it as my first visit to Asia. I'm going on my own and will spend one week in Bangkok and one in Jomtien (Pattaya).

I have a lot of Vietnamese friends and I speak some Mandarin (a year of college) so I'm looking forward to future trips to Asia.

Febo how does spending $20 bucks at Sneaky Pete's and Bootleggers gonna help starving people here :-P I agree with fixing stuff here. Good luck!

Wellll..... $20+ at each place plus tips, then $5 at the pizza joint down the road, and the other $20 I dropped at the liqour store for pre game... add it all up and thats a lot of charity for the local community.
