January 1-8 volunteers from the United States, Australia, and Thailand arrived for the January 2016 Community of Blessing Medical team. This trip we visited 3 villages in Nan Province. Two villages were from the Lua language group, the group David and Deloris Filbeck came to serve in 1960. The third village was a Northern Thai community. LTC graduate Mr. Prawanwit coordinated with local officials.
