We have had an amazing, eye opening, hot day! Seen parts of Bangkok that no tourist would find! We made it to Rahab!!! Alex and Sarah showed us Rahab in Paptong and then we braved the bus service and went to Rahab House! Buses are jammed packed full of people with two fans on the ceiling for air conditioning. You hold on or your could fall out an open door....
We heard sad and amazing stories at Rahab .... Of 64 million people over 16 million live below the poverty line . tourism and greed fuel the industry and then cultural beliefs keep them trapped! It's amazing to comprehend how hard it is to get out, but Rahab are helping some start again!!
The team is having a great time, lots of laughs, yummy food - crepes with choc ice cream for lunch.. .. We paid less than $4 for a full meal including dessert! So we are not going hungry!
Bangkok is alive, hot and amazing to see..... Prayer for Rahab, they are saving precious lives in hopelessness
!!!
