have you ever thought of combining your travels with doing some volunteer work.?
The hill tribes who live on the borders of Thailand and Burma, are persecuted by the burmese government and not recognised as citizens in Thailand. For these reasons the children who live in these remote areas have no chance of an education. Our aim is to allow these children to be given that chance.
We have put the infrastructure in place, but deperately need volunteers. If you could give some time to help us it would be rewarding for you in many ways but most of all would help to give these indiginous people the chances in life they deserve.
Presently the only contact they have with western people, is organised tours that come to take pictures (youve all seen the photos of the karen people with the rings around their necks). This gives them nothing but a sense of alienation, this is a chance to give them something real, a chance for their children to be educated without having to leave their villages.
