Our Mae Tao Clinic efforts for March 2019 consisted of reviewing, researching, requesting and registering. Notables for you to consider:
 
Our Next Big Project!
We are doing the needs assessment and project definition for our next big project at Mae Tao Clinic’s Child Protection Department. The goal is to set up a Resource Center for the sixty-plus Migrant Learning Centers/Boarding Houses in Thailand’s Tak Province. There are four main objectives:
  • Improve and standardize the quality of life for the more than two-thousand children in this realm;
  • Develop four standard modules/training on Child Protection, Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights, Adolescent Reproductive Health and Parenting;
  • Raise awareness in the community for Child Protection and Birth Registration; and
  • Reduce the number of Out-of-School Children

Our hope is to develop a Resource Center that can support migrants through out the region. We are seeking partners to provide expertise, counsel and funding, especially in the form of Rotary District Designated Funds. Please contact us!

Come to Mae Sot and See For Yourself
We are scheduling our next organized tour, planned for 7 – 10 May. We are expanding the tour to ensure time to visit the Committee for the Protection and Promotion of Child Rights (CPPCR), The Burmese Migrant Teacher’s Association and the office of Burma Operations at Mae Tao Clinic. It promises to be two days full of information to satisfy your curiosity about the real situation along the Thai-Myanmar border. Of course, we will also schedule some delightful meals and fellowship along the way.

Please join us in our campaign to raise awareness and do good in the world. Remember “You may never know what results come from your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no result.” Mahatma Gandhi
