FIRM is pleased to welcome Nicole Betteridge as a new intern to FIRM! Nicole has recently completed a year of service with the Lao Evangelical Church (LEC) in Laos through the Global Mission Intern program of the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
Nicole will be serving as a full-time intern with FIRM for a three month period as she prepares to return to Overseas Missions in Thailand. While at FIRM, Nicole will be working with clients and helping to prepare workshops for FIRM’s mental health projects, as well as working with FIRM’s Building Healthy Communities General Plan work by doing policy research and helping Hmong and Lao residents prepare testimonies for public meetings.
She is also excited for the opportunity to practice her Lao and Thai! Nicole will also be available to visit local churches to share about the work of FIRM as well as the work of the Lao church. Saibaidee Nicole!
