It was clear to us that the people in this region are in desperate need of our help. This is exactly why we would like to continue to work even harder in the region, in order to reach more people. We want to let them know that they’re not alone in their struggles and that we will help them as best as we can. The results of our efforts will also play a huge part in helping us determine which projects are best for us to support in 2016.
We can’t stress enough the importance of being aware that the South Thailand Insurgency is an ongoing conflict. The situation has worsened greatly with outbreaks of terrorism carried out by various groups. Bombings have intensified and innocent lives have been lost. People live in dilapidated houses without proper clothing, food and other amenities that everyone should have access to. What’s more, the fact that many of the charities and agencies have scaled back their activities for the safety of their staff means that few outsiders know what is happening in the region. Everyday, people face violence and chaos that crushes their spirit and sinks the regional economy even further. If we don’t help them, then who will?
