PHUKET: The Ministry of Social Development and Human Security (MSDHS) yesterday (Feb 22) launched a ‘Thai Society Cares for the Destitute and Impoverished’ campaign in an attempt to improve the country’s image and prevent human trafficking.

 

The Minister of Social Development and Human Security Gen Anantaporn Kanchanarat officially launched the campaign at Patong Beach to raise awareness of the problem with homeless and beggars and provided guidelines for both Thais and foreigners in order to involve every agency to solve the problem.

 

Joining Gen Anantaporn at the launch of the campaign were Phuket Governor Norraphat Plodthong, Patong Mayor Chalermluck Kebsup, the Phuket Provincial Police Commander Maj Gen Teeraphol Thipjaroen and others.

Is that necessary? It would seem that the presence of homeless and beggars are self evident.

A campaign will have a budget, do I need to say more???

It's the Thai way.

Convene committees, hold talks, have awareness campaigns, but don't ever get around to doing anything that fixes the actual problem.

And therein lies the problem - for understandable reasons, few people trust 'organisations' set-up to help the needy....
