Welcome to the first Edition of the BFWA Blog

Approaching Christmas and the new year I have an overwhelming sense of achievement.
Looking back on 2016, I feel immensely proud of the work we do to enhance the lives of the hill tribe children in Northern Thailand.
Merry Christmas!

This year we have  built our new leadership home in Chiang Dao, supplying accommodation and education to the village, as well as fresh water and electricity.

Our vision is to educate these children, and release them from the vulnerability of exploitation by the sex and drug trades. Together we can make this happen - we ARE making it happen, and we must continue to  make it happen in order to give opportunities for a better life.

And all of this with no bureaucratic funding, just love and support from our sponsors, volunteers and members - we cannot do it on our own - we rely on people like you - thank you!

Your donation goes towards: education - scholarships for secondary school and university; safe accommodation - so they can continue at school and, nutritious food and essential clothing.
Every cent is valuable to our cause and carefully put to its best use, with over 92% of all funds raised going to specific projects in the villages.
So from me, the committee and the children of Chiang Dao - Thank-you, Merry Christmas and a safe, happy and healthy 2017!
