✈️ Send Us to Serve: 6 Graduates, 6 Mission Months in Thailand

This June, we—Giuli, Michael, Amanda, Jarden, Jenna, and Brayden—will graduate from Fountainview Academy, a Christian high school in British Columbia.

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to go on a mission trip to Cambodia with our senior class. For two weeks, we shared music, led children’s programs, and simply connected with people through acts of kindness. Those experiences changed us. We came back inspired to serve more—and now, we’re preparing to dedicate 6 months to full-time mission work at Sunshine Orchard Learning Center, a donation-supported orphanage and boarding school in Thailand.

🌏 About Sunshine Orchard

Located near the Thai-Myanmar border, Sunshine Orchard serves over 800 children, many of whom are Karen refugees who have fled years of civil war. These children—ranging in age from toddlers to teens—have lost their homes and families. Around 300 of them live on campus in simple but well-kept dorms.

This ministry was founded and is run by an Adventist family and provides not only education but also safety, food, and spiritual care. It is entirely supported by donations and volunteer service.

While we’re there, we’ll be:

Teaching classes (including high school science and music)
Mentoring and tutoring students
Helping in children’s programs and worship
Assisting disabled children
Contributing to media and communication efforts to help support the school

Assisting with daily campus operations

Leading music

Serving wherever we are needed most

We’ll be working full-time—without pay—so your support is what will make this possible!

💸 Why We’re Fundraising

This mission trip is not sponsored by any organization, so we’re raising the funds ourselves to cover:

✈️ Roundtrip airfare
🏠 Housing and meals
🩺 Travel insurance and personal essentials
🍲 Basic living expenses
🎒 School and teaching supplies
🎥 Camera and media equipment

As a team, we’re aiming to raise $24,000 USD. Any funds beyond our needs will be donated directly to Sunshine Orchard and its students.

We are fundraising together, and all donations will be shared among the six of us—unless you’d like to give toward a specific student by clicking on their name below.

🙏 How You Can Help

Would you consider making a donation to support our mission? Any amount helps, and your gift will go directly toward helping us reach Thailand and serve for the full 6 months.

We also ask for your prayers as we prepare for this journey and step into this season of service.

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’
And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” – Isaiah 6:8

Thank you for being part of our mission! 💛
