Meet the Thai Dorm Team

Hello friends and family,

We are so excited to finally have contact with you and we look forward to keeping you updated as our summer progresses. So far during orientation we have bathed from buckets, washed our clothes by hand, dominated nearly every team building activity, studied Scripture together, and started founding these relationships that are sure to last a life time. Our team is comprised of two different groups going to teach English in Thai schools. At this time we are still unsure about specific details of our assignments, but we are all eager to get started! Here is a quick introduction to our Thai Dorm teams:

 Thai Dorm: Tribal

Haley: The Haitian Gone Asian
Haley is the team leader for the Thai Tribal Dorm. She goes to Mississippi State University and studies Elementary Education. In addition to wrangling children, Haley enjoys intense tennis matches, taking long strolls through campus, and sinking her teeth into a fresh, crisp dill pickle.

Liz: The Disney Princess
Liz studies at Troy University, emphasizing English and Teaching English as a Second Language. When she's not singing to small animals, Princess Liz likes to paint, write, read, listen to music, and speak Mandarin Chinese.

Thai Dorm: Government

Mo: The Peanut Butter Lover
Mo attends Baylor University where she spends her days dissecting different languages as a linguist. Apart from this she also loves to bury her nose in a good book, catch a quick nap, and climb rocks like a pro.

Alyssa: The Rice Enthusiast
Alyssa is the leader for the Thai Government Dorm and is a student at Columbus State Community College and spends her time learning about Early Childhood Development and Education. When Alyssa's not cooped up in a classroom, she enjoys to be outside, watching movies, or eating ice cream.

Abby: The Golden Lioness
Abby is an English Education major at Lee University. Surprisingly she is able to do activities outside of her reading for school. If you catch her on the rare homework-free weekend you can find her hiking through the mountains or swimming in the Tennessee creeks.


We all are experiencing excitement, nerves, and mixed feelings as we begin this journey. Please be praying for the following:

• To delight in the Lord daily
• Team unity
• Guidance for our leaders
• Good health for all teammates

Thank you all and we will keep in touch!
