Film Workshop with HOTS

Last weekend some of our children attended a Film Workshop run by Heart of the Streets (HOTS). HOTS is a Chiang Mai based organisation working to raise awareness amongst residents and tourists about the child sex trade.

One of the aims of the workshop was to raise awareness amongst our children about how they might be able to help other children out of a sexually exploitative situation.

The workshop was attended by over 20 children from Childlife and shelters - DEPDC and VGCD. The children learnt basic filming techniques and practiced their skills over the weekend. Some of this footage will be used in a HOTS film to raise awareness of the issues of the child sex trade as well as educating and breaking down prejudices towards children from ethnic minority groups in Northern Thailand.
