It is harvest time at Legacy school in Chiang Mai. The rice is ripe and ready. Professor Ong-Art, who runs an organic farm near our rice fields told us we need to harvest NOW because our rice is so heavy it will begin to break the stalks!
So, classes are cancelled and all the teachers and students have headed for the fields to bring in the harvest before the King’s Birthday holiday this Thursday, December 5.

Dear Friends and Fellow-laborers, It is time once again to wrap up the last of classes and head back home after another successful year at Legacy Foundation Leadership Training Center in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Each of these young volunteers have donated their time and even their own financial resources to come halfway around the world and serve young men and women looking to improve their lives and seek out the ways of the Almighty. Without the dedication and sacrifice of our volunteers, Legacy could not exist. We will miss them.
