Iven Hauptman, History, Class of 2002

Hauptman co-founded Rak Teh under Youth With a Mission Thailand, a Christian service missionary team that reaches out to homeless people involved in freelance prostitution and street life. On his SEEDS orientation trip, Hauptman had his first personal encounter with people living on the streets. Soon after, during O-Week, he also had his first encounter with Christian scripture at a Bible study in his dorm. Hauptman explains that these two events ultimately led him to Rak Teh.
