Thailand

Dr. Richard “Harry” Harris is an Australian anesthetist and experienced cave diver. He played a key role in the successful international effort that rescued twelve boys and their coach from a cave system in Thailand.

One of Coach Ake’s friends said of his relationship with the boys, “He loved them more than himself.”

The parents of the boys rescued from a Thailand cave were celebrating Monday, and among them were the father and mother of a boy who is sponsored through Compassion International.

It was a rescue effort followed by the whole world. All 12 of the boys and their soccer coach have been safely rescued from the Thailand cave where they were trapped for two weeks.

The second phase is underway in the rescue of eight boys and their coach trapped in a cave in northern Thailand.

Two weeks ago, the boys and their coach may have taken their freedom for granted. I doubt they will ever do so again.

Pastor Eugene Cho and basketball star Jeremy Lin recently teamed up on a trip to Thailand to learn about sex-trafficking and how to help victims.

Many Christians who are fleeing Islamic persecution in Pakistan are coming to Thailand only to be denied asylum and subjected to inhumane living conditions.

Recent events in the UK – a report submitted to Parliament and a new BBC documentary – have resurfaced the plight of Pakistani Christians fleeing to Thailand in search of asylum.

Just days after the grim discovery of a camp entombing 26 corpses in shallow graves, a team of officers trekked Khao Kheow mountain, dismantling eight huts with rumored links to a human-trafficking network.
