Why Thailand
A return with purpose
Lauren first visited Thailand in January 2026 to see her aunt, who lives in Chiang Mai and is involved in mission work. She fell in love with the culture and the people. When a Thailand mission opportunity arrived through the Lady Eagles, she knew she wanted to go.
