Dear Friends: In one week the bus will be ready for signs, the paint secure. We continue to do all our own repairs on the bus. Yet we need four RV batteries for the onboard electrical system. If you can donate for one battery that would be a great help. Batteries are $310 each, we need four. With that and the signs, the bus will be ready to go. We hope that President elect Obama will establish a more responsible relationship with Thailand demanding accountability regarding human rights issues for Thailand's minorities. We currently continue to persue accountability for all those in the Thai security forces who were involved in the killings of Akha people from 2000 forward. We continue to press the State Department for the names of those who have been vetted and for lists that should show those accused of abuses. Thank you for your support. Matthew McDaniel
