Many of you will remember our friend and colleague, Wessel Huisjes, and the company we started in Chiang Khong . Well, Mekong Valley Foods Co. continues, under Wessel's leadership, to produce blended flour products for the Burmese refugee camps.

In fact, about a month ago we decided that it made more sense for Wessel to continue that work as owner of the company rather than as Manager. So, we have now transferred ownership of the company to Wessel and 2 other Dutch friends who are committed to running it with the same determination to produce quality products and help disadvantaged communities.
We, in turn, are using the funds from this transfer of ownership to invest in Covenant ministries here in Roi Et and in Chiang Mai. We recently gave a large gift to the camp in Chiang Mai. Here in Roi Et, the funds are enabling the leadership team to extend electricity service into the camp, drill a new well, and help buy a piece of land that will become a full-sized soccer field.
