# YOU DESERVE TO FEEL AWESOME!

# (ยดโ–ฝ`สƒ๐Ÿ’—ฦช)

A few days ago I heard that a stranger named Frank was in urgent need of blood.

So that day I took an hour out of my day and donated some of my blood to him.

Frank still needs Rh - blood. So don't just like this post, GO donate locally today!

Today my willingness to help a stranger made me FEEL INCREDIBLY GOOD and it only took 60 minutes!

DONATE your blood today - it could save someone deeply in need & help lessen the stress of their loved ones too! (โœฟโ—กโ€ฟโ—ก)

CHECK OUT the 5 easy steps to being a Chiang Mai hero today!

1. Are there limits to how long you can stay in Thailand on recurring volunteer visas? I actually would like to do real volunteer work, in addition to my remote day job.

1. Where would one start to find out about volunteer work options?
