The boarding home in MaeChan
Just north of Chiang Rai lies the boarding home in MaeChan. The home was
taken over by
BaanChivitMai in 2003 when it faced the threat of closure.
35 children from ages 8-16 live here, most of whom come
from remote mountain villages. Presently the home is housed in two old
houses of wood that we rent. There is not much space, but no one ever
complains. Everyone is concerned to continue to go to school and
receive an education. We now have a plot of land where we have started to build a larger lodgings.
At the boarding home, the children receive food, housing
and, not least, love and care. The supervising couple mean very much to
the children and have created a warm and secure atmosphere at the home.
