A New Life Begins

Time sure flies. Tomorrow 11 kids from the Village STREETKIDS programme will be moving over to our new centre in Chiang Mai. This  move had been in the pipeline for more than 2 years and this year we have enough support to make it happen.

You see, this shift is more than just a change of environment. Its giving these children a credible shot to break away from poverty.  In a child's life, the teenage years from 11 to 16 years of age is known to be one of the most important for a child's development. For these Hmong village children, its even more significant. Why ? Its not just about puberty & growing up, when village youth reach these age, they get ready to set up their own families and most drop out of school before they are 16, plunging back into a cycle of poverty & drug abuse.

Stage 2 rehabilitation gives these children not only a fighting chance in life, but an environment to excel in their education.

We have worked with these children for 3 years, planned for this transition for 2 years and tomorrow, their journey begins. Years of being despised, tragic family backgrounds, mistakes in life and tomorrow they are ready to change all that !

Join me to pray for these kids !
