A Saucon Valley graduate and former Hellertown resident, Janna Raudenbush, will travel to Thailand this May on a mission trip to help those victimized by the rampant Thai sex industry.

Raudenbush, who now lives in Washington, D.C., announced that she will spend 10 days serving The Well, a nonprofit organization dedicated to reaching out to Thai sex workers and empowering them to become agents of change. Part of the mission trip will take place in Bangkok, while the remainder will be served in a rural village in the Isan region of Thailand.
