Thailand Today: Thailand still under martial law. Freedom of sharing any comment about the government is limited. As it go we know that at least the situation now is very peaceful and safe. This is a summer season or hottest season in Thailand. Every year up in the northern part of Thailand is facing the smoke problem all the time. This season is very dry and agriculturist burning their field before planting different vegetable. That’s cause a pollution more than 300 micrograms in the air. Hard to breath, especially adult and baby are getting sick because of the smoke too. About human trafficking nowadays the form of trafficking has developed from the original and is more complicated. Many people have been force to do the job that they doesn’t want to but because they have no choice but money. Especially Thailand is about to join the ASIAN group very soon and waiting for an election to happen that’s why is so easy for those who finding benefit from human kind take this opportunity for their own thing.

Sila Home and Ruth’s Home : This year we have 7 student left the ministry. 5 of them are graduated high school is Nim, Dii, Giew, Nee and Thii. The other 2 students are going back to stay with their family is Pin and Nueng. Nim will be staying with her mom in Malaysia. She getting her passport and visa now. Giew will get a job to do. Thii, Dii and Nee will continue study in the university. Nat and Yhong decided to work in Phuket with their mother. We very concern about their study as they haven’t finish the high school yet. We trying to encourage them to continue their study. At least if they graduated high school it would protect them from human trafficking. The rest of them are on school holiday. So right now the children are staying back home with their family and will be back before school will open in May. But there is still some of the high school student needs to stay for summer class.
