Background
This project has its origins in my visit to the village of Nong Tong in November 2007 where I stayed for four weeks. I have been increasingly drawn back to Thailand since m first visit in august 2006 with a group of therapists from Ireland to Chiang Mai . . .
Case Study
This young mans name is Atapha and he is about 27 years old. He was born a normal child but when very young he contacted a fever and . . .
Shelter & Housing
This is another area that has taken a life of its own. While living in the village in Non Tong I was very moved by the living conditions of some of the people, especially the younger families.
We have committed to build 2 houses this year and to continue each year to either repairing or constructing new dwellings.
Education
There is a noticeable difference in the cost of education in the villages and in Chiang Mai city because in the village education is very basic and whereas in the cities it is of a higher standard and of a higher cost.
There is a huge effort by parents to educate their children properly as they are very much aware that it’s the only chance that their children have of a decent future. This is reflected by the fact that there are 9,000 pupils attending The Prince Royal`s Collge in Chiang Mai.
