Streetkids Sponsorship : Jai

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Jai is a beautiful girl 10 year old girl whose charming smile hides a sad past. Her entire family was torn apart by drugs, forcing the mother to re-marry. Although Jai now lives with her step father, her step father offers little care as she is not his natural daughter.

Growing up from a drug devastated family to a family stricken with poverty. Jai struggles in her daily school life, every night she studies under a single flickering candlelight to complete her school work.

Jai is now up for sponsorship. Sponsorship is a yearly commitment to enable these children to resume normalcy in life. The sponsorship cost just SGD78 monthly.

To sponsor Jai, please contact me at eugene@radion-international.org

This should be obvious enough. :) If you still cannot see it. Its time to change monitors or its time for lasik.

Hmong : Nong Khai

Friday, June 27th, 2008

We visited some Hmong Lao refugees residing in Nong Khai and did a needs assessment in that area.

These are the details.

-155 Refugees. All are holders of a valid UNHCR refugee status certificate.
-Males and females are separately housed in 2 rooms. Each measuring only 9mX9m.
-Rooms are overcrowded with no proper sleeping area.
-Locked up for 22 hours each day with 2 hours of exercise time.
-Managed the same way as illegal immigrants.
-Have been awaiting news of repatriation for almost 2 years.

Needs :
- Food (Both adults and children are given the same portion of food which is hardly enough)
- Children lack education
- Children above 1 and below ages of 2 have no access to semi-solid food.

We are planning to seek governmental approval to provide food augmentation as well as improve living conditions by providing education programs for both adults and children.*

*Subjected to governmental approval.
