June 3, 2024 Mission
As part of our global mission trip program, Shook Construction sent 10 associates to Wiang Pa Pao, Thailand, in February 2024 to help build a new girls’ home that would house 12 children who have been rescued from trafficking, abuse, and more.
Shook partnered with Grace Refuge Outreach Worldwide (GROW), an Ohio-based non-profit organization based in Wooster, Ohio. GROW owns and operates a mission located in northern Thailand in the Wiang Pa Pao district of Chiang Rai. The organization’s mission is to rescue at-risk children, restore their broken lives, and equip them to impact their families and communities.
Seeking a team driven by storytelling and inspiration, Shook partnered with ManaVision, Inc. to capture the experience. The resulting documentary, "The Bricks That Bind Us,” shares a glimpse of both the joy and obstacles our team faced in Thailand and the incredible impact this experience had on their lives.
We would like to thank our partners at GROW for allowing us to be a small part of their story and life-changing work. We hope you enjoy watching the film and consider sharing it with others. Together, we can drive momentum for positive change in our communities.
