Description
Our projects can be described in two areas: mental health assistance and community support. Community Support: In addition to and as a consequence of our trainings, we have come face to face with the desperate psychosocial circumstances of those whom we train. We have responded by building and supporting orphanages, funding teachers in schools for children of migrant workers, supporting Shan medics operating in the always-dangerous Golden Triangle area, establishing an "Alternatives to Abandonment" program which makes it possible for young Burmese mothers working in Thai sweat shops to keep and not simply abandon their newborn babies, and in other significant ways as well such as bringing a team of Massachusetts dentists to the border once a year. Our thinking has evolved to linking the hope provided by our trainings with the empowerment that is engendered by funding the creative responses of those with whom we partner and train.
