Name: WHITELOVE 's Center of Hope

Description:
Northern Thailand is severely affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Some reports have stated that up to 40% of the reported AIDS cases in Thailand are in the northern region. Particularly hard hit are the province in the upper north; Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Lampang , Lamphun, and Payao. rnrnin 2001 it was estimated that 290,000 children had been orphaned by AIDS and appproximately 2,000 HIV infected children were born annually.rnAccording to the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) all children have the right to be free from discrimination, irrespective of the child's own , or their parent's or guardian's status. But children affected by HIV are alway at risk of discrimination. For this reason the principle of non-discrimination is hightly relevant in efforts to improve the lives and development of these children. rnrnThe Hope center will become the safety net for children orphaned by AIDS in Thailand .At our new center we will provide shelters, medical facilities, life skill education, for them and we hope they will can return to their communities with a strong life skill and self-esteem.
