Three of Global Peace Network's directors have visited Children of the Forest in Sanghlaburi, Thailand to help search and rescue young children who have been orphaned or sold as sex workers. Most of the children rescued have been hill tribes or of Burmese origin. These children are not recognized by the government as Thai citizens and are rejected the right to education and health care. If the children are orphaned or are not safe in their homes they are put into the orphanage.
Children of the Forest has successfully developed a centre to support the vulnerable and is deeply involved in the community. Other projects include single mother homes and a free school for children who cannot afford the regular tuition. Global Peace Network is continuing to cooperate in the further development of this community.
