CSF - Children's Shelter Foundation Thailand "Home for underpriviledged children"

The Children's Project "Children's Shelter Foundation" is located in the mountain area of Northern Thailand on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. The foundation gives a home to children and young people in need from the mountain villages and border areas of Burma and Laos. The distress in many mountain villages of North Thailand is still large.
The locals in many villages are marked by poverty, unemployment, disease and hopelessness. Drug trafficking, drug addiction and child trafficking are still sad realities of these regions and the victims are mainly children and adolescents.
For this reason, the Children's Shelter Foundation was founded in 2006 as a place of refuge for children in need from Chiang Mai and the mountain areas.
CSF provides a warm home and education for children in need, as well as practical training to youth and young adults from the mountain villages in order to make entrance to University / College possible for them.
They live with nature, and they grow fruits and vegetables that they cook together. Beside the sleeping rooms there is an open kitchen with a bakery area which is also used for having meals together. An open lounge area serves as a class room, meeting room and playing area, and our teachers and educators live and sleep at the project to act as both mom and dad for the kids, and as a trusted person for the older ones.

I hope my contribution and the overall good cause of this project will inspire a few more people to do the same. We need more funds to build a library to enable the children to create a future on the foundation of knowledge and education. Thanks in advance for everyones support! Every little contribution counts!
