Thailand
Issue: Sexual abuse puts many girls in Northern Thailand at high risk for human trafficking. To avoid abuse, these children, often not even Thai citizens enjoying full access to rights, require educational opportunities and a safe community in which to thrive with dignity.
Solution: In 2009, GPE volunteers from FSU and Santa Fe Community College, worked with the Children’s Organization of Southeast Asia (COSA) and Harbor House (a shelter for victims of sexual abuse) providing:
-Art, dance, and self-esteem workshops
-English and Geography lessons
-A rainproof water storage unit to ensure proper health
