Refugee School Dormitory & Dental Clinic, Kaichanaburi
In 2008 CRY was able to access a grant for the
building of a school dormitory and dentistry clinic in partnership
with Mercy Teams International.
The Karen Burmese people who live in this area, have been subjected
to extreme pressure and persecution within Burma, with many
thousands now living in the jungles on the Thai/Burmese border.
Japanese Well Village is
in a relatively peaceful part of this region where several hundred
of the refugees are allowed to live just inside Thailand but with no
Thai citizenship status, denied access to schools and other
services. They are a traumatized, neglected and displaced people.
Mercy Teams International have built and operate a school attended
by 72 children, either orphans or more commonly single-parented,
with no proper accommodation and many stay and sleep around the
school site. The dormitory accommodation has provided a secure place
for them to stay, receive regular food and care. |
