Last weekend, we gathered over a 60 young people from 4 different regions. They are all part of our Siam-Care educational sponsorship program and from underprivileged backgrounds. And thus vulnerable. HIV sees the biggest increase in their age group and background.
During the weekend, which took place in the jungle of Central Thailand, we offered a fun and interesting program. There as much laughter through the games and social activities we organized. Furthermore, we raised awareness by warning the youngsters about the risks of (unprotected) sex.
The teenagers went home with increased knowledge on sex and looking after yourself well, despite coming from a poor background, amongst other topics. With your support, camps like these can take place. They are valuable moments for young people to work on themselves while being destracted from their dire life situations.
