Childlife receives an award!

In order to commemorate the King’s 80th birthday, and in conjunction with Thailand’s National Youth Day, the Committee of Chiang Rai Province held a ceremonial day, where they selected a number organisations that work with children in the area to acknowledge their achievements within various fields, such as humanity and environmental issues.

We were really honoured, not only be invited to such an event but also to receive the award in the field of human rights….something we believe very strongly about!!

The day also hosted a variety of acts performed by the kids of all the organisations invited, including a wonderful performance from one of our children, charleh, who sung 2 akha songs which he’d written and composed himself.

It was a great day which filled us with pride and encouragement to keep doing what we do!!
