"I have the opportunity to go to Chiang Mai, Thailand this summer to serve at an orphanage, called Mango House, which houses and helps to educate children in an urban setting. I will be staying at Mango House and helping through teaching math and English, and doing anything that the ministry needs assistance with. To share the universal language of music, I will be bringing and donating two student flutes, music stands, music, and eight recorders. When contacting Pastor Danny, the head of Elijah Foundation, I made it clear that I wanted to be an instrument for God and I am open to serving in any way that they need me to."
