In June, CMIRC will host Safe Child Thailand Foundation (SCT) staff  in Chiang Mai when CMIRC and Lampang Rotary CWSDP committee members meet with visiting SCT staff on June 6 at 12 noon. Afterwards, SCT staff will have an opportunity to see the program in action with 4th  graders from two municipal schools at Bronco Kids Sports Center from 1pm to 2pm. SCT has been a major funder of the CWSDP program expansion, granting over 450,000 Baht to fund pilot programs in Lampang, beginning in Fall 2017 and in Phuket beginning in June 2018. Plans include future program expansion in Phetchabun Province in Isaan and in Bangkok.  The expansion is designed to work with local Rotary Clubs that agree to continue the programs at their own expense after initial pilot programs, staff training, equipment purchase, and evaluation are completed by our Kru Payu-CMIRC staff.  After leaving Chiang Mai, the SCT staff will also have an opportunity to observe our expansion program in Patong Beach, Phuket.
