Northern Thai/Burma border region - January 30th - 02 February, 2012.
We visited the biggest refugee camp in Thailand – Karen Handicap Welfare Association - Mae Tao Clinic - Sky Blue garbage dump School – New Day migrant school – One World One Dream School for street kids – Help Without Frontiers district office and a Men’s Health Center.
Fourteen volunteers from all parts of the world helped us to give three truck-loads of donations and some very funny dance and clown shows for several hundred poor children in the region. “These memories will stay with those children for life!”

The value of goods given was around 80,000THB ($2,600USD) and comprised 400 mosquito nets, 600 brand new polo shirts, medical supplies, toys, 3,000 pens and thousands of items of clothing. Before the mission started, we raised 72,000THB ($2,330USD) to buy some of the goods and pay logistical costs for three drivers, a minibus and three trucks. Total costs were more than 80,000THB, but some of the volunteers made-up the difference during the mission, making this our first ever fully funded by donations mission.
All these donations of goods and money came from friends of our organization in Bangkok, UK, Australia, Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong.
GOHF Director Eddie Haworth sends his heartfelt Thanks to all those wonderful people who made this mission possible!
Our next project’s - We are planning a big day-out for some very poor children to go to the Zoo and see a performance by some children at an International school in Bangkok. Stay tuned to our news page for regular up-dates.
