Mae Sot, Thailand Weather Forecast

One of the least reported issues on the world stage is the internal conflict within the borders of Burma. Over 50 years of civil war in one of the most impoverished countries in the world, has left millions of people displaced or in hiding. Many of the displaced people have fled to Thailand for refuge.

Global Neighbors Canada is working with the orphaned and displaced children in the border town of Mae Sot, Thailand.

We have built an orphanage for 180 children, complete with kitchen facilities, washrooms and an assembly area. We also completed a Daycare/ Junior Orphanage with 80 children in the daycare and a capacity of 40 children in the Junior Orphanage.

We are working with the Burmese Migrant Education Committee which is in charge of 50 schools with 5000 children in attendance.

As sweet as pie [ 3.Feb.2010]
Wed Feb 3rd – Day 3 Today was another rewarding day. The majority of the work team attended The New Light Muslim School. The women held their crafts, games and songs which were received with great enthusiasm and participation. The men’s work team finished installing the partitions and the court yard sun shade. The other men’s work team finished their roofing project at Hsa Thoo Lei and laid stakes for tomorrow’s tree planting project at the farm. Trevor and Luc toured a very poor Muslim area, gathering footage for the GNCI video. Conditions are horrific – we plan to return tomorrow afternoon with food, clothing & blankets donated by generous supporters of Global Neighbors. On a cheerier note we purchased two guitars, complete with cases and music stands for Henry’s school at the refugee camp, and presented the school principal with 4 new soccer balls to Hsa Thoo Lei. Many of the group treated their weary bones to a Thai Massage this evening in preparation for tree planting tomorrow.
