Living in Mae Sot.

When we visited the Thai/Burma Area in 2005 we were touched by the plight of the Karen people of Burma. Following other visits we realised that it is the whole Burmese population that is living in fear of the Burmese military regime.For the local Burmese migrant, life is pretty much the same; exploitation by the Thai businesses, harassment by the local police and general poverty. We support local organisations to help individuals and schools in both the MaeSot area and in the Karen State of Burma.

A.T. Builds Blocks


The SEN team took a visit to AT's house. He is an engaging little boy who is unable to walk after getting a fever when he was a toddler. He has a lot of character and is always laughing and smiling. The SEN team took out some building blocks to his house and Big sat and played with AT. Although AT had never played with blocks before, he explored them straight away and was soon building towers and also copying what Big was doing. Such a simple thing that can bring a lot of joy to a child who has very little stimulation during the day.
