Hi, I'd like to introduce myself, Dhane Blue, as an American ex-patriate living and working in Thailand.  I teach English and have founded a shelter and school for deprived and disadvantaged Burmese children -- located near Mae Sot in Tak Province, Thailand and about 500 meters from the Thai-Burmese border.  We have been open for two years and just completed a new building construction -- we welcome volunteers and visitors from around the world.  If you'd like to learn more, please visit our website here --
