This March, Paul and Colin will embark on an incredible challenge: circumnavigating Koh Samui Island in a kayak. Covering approximately 80 kilometers of open ocean over four days, they are taking on this journey to raise funds for Childline Thailand Foundation-a non-profit organization dedicated to providing 24/7 crisis support, shelter, and advocacy for vulnerable children across Thailand.
Childline staff assists children and families in multiple ways on a daily basis - problems range from loneliness and family misunderstandings to severe abuse cases. "Child abuse is more than broken bones and bruises. It leaves deep emotional scars which, if remain untreated, will haunt the child for the rest of his or her adult life"
Childline invites everyone to be a part of supporting the Kayak Challenge by making a donation. All proceeds will go towards helping children and youth through various projects of the Childline Foundation, providing them with better opportunities to grow and improve their quality of life.
Childline have supported over 1.2 million children in the last ten years. Our impact is an improved society with safer, happier and more engaged youths. We will continue to provide children in Thailand with trusted and reliable access to protection, health and human services, as is their right, and which the Thai Government adheres to through its ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of a Child.
