Situation
Numerous tribes, living in total isolation and deprivation, inhabit the northern mountains of Thailand. The tribe's children are often victim of drug dealers, prostitution ring and AIDS. Due to lack of funding and teachers schools are rare in these villages and surroundings. The road conditions make it hard to travel the distance to the existing schools. Because there are so many different languages spoken it is difficult to establish a national school system. As a result very few children of these tribes are educated. Drugs and AIDS have also devastating effects in the Thaï population. Numerous children are forced into prostitution and end up on drugs. In some villages up to 70% of the 11-year-olds and older children are enslaved by the sex industry. |

Action
'Le Sourire de Chiang Khong' sets out to offer an educational environment for the most deprived and gives them the opportunity to learn a valuable profession in harmony with their background and the region. Barbara Gautschi from Geneva, and Prapapone Khotsanlee from Thailand established 'Le Sourire de Chiang Khong' after they met working with the victims of prostitution in Pattaya. It is there where they decided to join forces to fight poverty in the northern territories of Thailand. |

Aktion
Die Vereinigung "Le
Sourire de Chiang Khong" ist bestrebt, den ärmsten
Kindern einen erzieherischen und schulischen Rahmen zu geben

ihrer Region entspricht, zu begünstigen. Das Kinderheim nimmt ebenfalls Kinder auf, die in ihren
Dörfern bleiben, sofern diese über Schulstrukturen
verfügen. |
