Khun Yuam Christian Hostel

In 1989, Buddhist monks came to Northern Thailand and took a majority of the Hmong children away from their families to be educated in schools in Southern Thailand. Many of the families were Christians, but they allowed their children to go with the monks since there was nowhere else for them to recieve an education.

The local Christian leaders came to Somphet and asked if there was anything he could do to bring their children back home safely. The solution was to build a hostel for the children to live while they attended school. Initially it consisted of three small huts, one for Somphet and his family, one for a kitchen, and one for the children to live in. The hostel has been very fruitful since it began.

Currently there are 72 children living there. It has also helped develop youth leaders to work with the local churches. Many children have been lead to Christ.
