Little Boy Sniffing Glue And Other Problems In The Vacant Space

[h5n1]

frankly, i dont want to get involved.... there is a little boy in the large field on soi bukhaow (where the towers WERE to be built) that i see time to time sniffing glue. its only a certain time of day so if someone wants to call someone that can help, ill tell you when i see him (its only been about 3x).

im worried because i know some farang has most likely already molested him. when he seem me he tries to call me over - but one day i thai woman w/ baby in pram came upon him from another direction. he stopped sucking on the bag and hid. not good signs.

another issue: some real cruddy looking thai garbage pickers are sleeping under the large tree by sawasdee hotel. for most part they are not issue for me and i have soft spot for th epoor but some times they can cause problems (hassling me once for a smoke) but are generally very dirty and in ill health.

there is also a half crazy woman popping up there time to time by the shed where one young woman was raped. shed almost be attractive if she cleaned up, she be flirty but she got to be hiv+ otherwise she cant be that stupid to know she could toss a rag on and get 100b sitting in a bar.

so many problems since they took down the beer bars there - only to build others that have no business on the other side.

go figure

Its a very sad story. What can be done ?

To add to this, a friend of mine came back from Ankor and reported that after the sun goes down, there are heaps of kids sniffing glue. Its such a shame so much of the future of the world is lost for a quick thrill.

Endure, that is an interesting website.

Do you, or anyone else have any idea how to get in touch locally with the people who run these projects (The Hauy-pong childtrens home, the Mercy project, the slum kids project etc). I have trawled through the web pages, and googled extensively but cannot come up with a local name, address or phone number. The only information provided is a Uk based bank account to send donations to and an email conact address, which I suspect is based in the UK. I have emailed them but not sure if I will get any information.

Any contact info would be appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry Mobi - The only info I have is the website. Let's hope the UK can give you the info.

h5n1,

I know you don't want to get involved, and I understand that - I would also be reluctant to make personal contact in the present climate of suspicion.

I have been given the phone numbers of a Dianne Doell of the Mercy Mission, who co-ordinates the help given to Pattaya Street kids, and channels the cash raised in the Uk for the Pattaya Street kids. They work in the Pattaya slums, and also run the childerens home. The numbers are: 038 422678 and 06 535 0455. Maybe you could tell her her, or whoever answers the phone, where and when you have seen this particular kid.
