We're Ducklings!

So- many of you may or may not know about the flooding in Thailand right now. For those of you who don't know, Thailand has 2 seasons, wet and dry. During the wet season is also monsoon season, and the heavens POUR like CRAZY. It is not like anything you have ever seen in your entire life, but it is also so incredible. Anyways, this rain is AMAZING. Unfortunately, if the water doesn't recede fast enough, there are floods, and Thailand is having the worst flooding that they have seen in 50 years!! People are being flooded out of their homes, their work places, etc. and have had to relocate, pitch tents, move in with relatives, or the water is up to the 2nd story of their homes and they have to live in water to make sure the rest of the house stays above it. It is so, so sad. Some main roads have about 3 meters (10ft or so) of water, and so many people have to get around in boats and their homes have water up to the 2nd story. People have moved all of their belongings to these boats and have lived out of them for months. Thailand has been great in producing mass flood relief projects and everyone is doing what they can to help everyone by producing emergency kits, hygiene kits, and many kits with food, hygiene products, etc. Thailand has always been so positive and so happy, and many of the people here have so much faith and hope. I love that!!! Just remember to keep Thailand in your prayers, and hope that the water recedes soon and people are blessed♥
