The Highlights
Start in Chiang Mai
Arrive in Chiang Mai and stay in an ethical elephant sanctuary, surrounded by gentle giants as you explore the property, learn to care for the elephants, visit a local Kayan village, and embark on a bamboo rafting experience through the jungle!
​
Travel to Chiang Rai
We will transport you to Chiang Rai, where we will show you some of our favorite places - look for fun finds and delicious food at the local markets, tour stunning temples, hike to a hidden jungle waterfall and jump from the cliffs above - if you dare - into the water below!
Work on a Humanitarian Project
You will meet the founder of Project Justice, and learn about the important initiatives they're working on. You will get to learn about the challenges that many local villages face, and why trafficking is such a big issue in this area.
Then, you will get to work- we will be working with Project Justice to select a project that they need to further their mission to help the prevention and rescue of children and young adults from sex trafficking. We will be visiting one of the local villages where one of the prevention projects exists, and support their vocational and educational initiatives.
​
You don't have to have experience- we will work with you to help you get connected with an assignment when on site, and show you how to complete the tasks we have been assigned as a group. We will be working with locals who will put us to work and show us how to build, tile, cement, or whatever might be needed at the time.
As the time gets closer to our trip, we will get more details about the specific projects and needs and work with you to determine your role.
Overnight in Phu Chi Fa
Phu Chi Fa could also be called "heaven on earth". It is regarded as one of the best sunrises in all of Thailand, and you will see why!
We will be staying in mountain bungalows, giving us close proximity to dramatic trails leading to some of the best viewpoints.
Depart from Chiang Rai
We will have one last night in Chiang Rai, reflecting on our time together and celebrating the difference that we made - around us, and within us - before you are dropped off at the airport for your return home.
ABOUT PROJECT JUSTICE
Child traffickers have one purpose: to exploit the young for their own gain. They prey on vulnerable people groups, families in the grip of desperate poverty and hardship. They use force, coercion and deception to procure young lives. They take children away from their families, sometimes to another country, where they will know no-one. They may not even know the language. They will have no idea how to find their way home. They will be lonely and frightened. The children may be victims of forced labor, sex trafficking and exploitation, and child pornography. They will be traumatized and abused. Without intervention, they will have no hope. Ever. Project Justice International is a team of nationals who have spent more than a decade working with governments and international agencies to stop child trafficking. We understand how to establish successful strategies to prevent children from being lured into the vicious sex trade. Our unique local knowledge gives us special insight into the best ways to locate and rescue trafficked children, and bring them to safety. Our partnerships with police and government agencies allow us to help bring perpetrators to justice. To prevent children being trafficked is the ultimate solution, saving them from torment and trauma that may last a lifetime. We do this with a multifaceted approach- 1. Empowering families by educating them about the traps employed by traffickers to lure children into slavery. 2. Providing children with a solid education that will give them a solid employment future. 3. Equipping teens with vocational training that will help ‘traffic-proof’ them by eliminating extreme poverty through employment opportunities.
OUR TIME WITH PROJECT JUSTICE
We have been connected to Project Justice since 2015, when we were working in Thailand to fight sex trafficking. The founder, Somkiat, has stood unwaivering in his commitment and integrity to help his people in very practical and strategic measures that we have not seen in many other organizations. We asked Somkiat what Project Justice needed to move their organization forward next. They are working to fund a rescue home for young children rescued from the sex trafficking industry. In our time with them, we will help work with prevention project and support hands-on work for current projects in Thailand. While there, you will get to learn more about the challenges that children are facing globally, what their next project - the safe house - looks like, and how you can continue to support this crucial mission to prevent + rescue the most vulnerable children in the most terrifying situations.
A Transformative Experience
01: EMPOWER CHANGE
This trip will challenge you to expand your comfort zone for the purpose of making powerful impact in the world - to use your influence to help bring change to so many. You won't just empower change in their lives though - we often find that we are changed just as much because you naturally gain new perspectives, develop new confidence to navigate challenges, build your relationship with self-trust & enhance your intuition.
02: ENHANCE LEADERSHIP SKILLS
This trip is filled with unique opportunities to expand your knowledge of human behaviors and motivators and learn through experiences to apply these principles to real life.
Learn what it takes to help your team thrive through challenges and unknowns, learn the science behind employee engagement, and participate in activities that stimulate your own personal and professional growth as you engage creative thinking, foster innovation , and learn from other leaders.​
03: LEAN INTO PERSONAL GROWTH
This trip will take you out of your comfort zone and present you with exhilarating challenges, pushing you beyond your perceived limits.
Through moments like these, we discover hidden strengths, resilience, and courage at levels ways we haven't experienced before.
By stepping into unfamiliar territory, you will be inspired to approach challenges with fresh perspectives, leading to innovative solutions in your own life's journey.
04: LEARN TO EMBRACE THE UNKNOWN
As professionals, we excel with controlling outcomes, but we often lose our ability to de-stress, be adaptable, and engage in authentic connection.
We take care of ALL the details from the time you land, to the time you leave.
This adventure is like no other and will allow you to be present without worrying about controlling outcomes. It will create opportunities for you to embrace the unknown and stand as a reminder for you to return to life ready to use every new opportunity to your advantage!
