Leaders from 42 Pattaya communities were introduced to the World Vision
Foundation of Thailand’s Child Protection System Program as a way to solve
local youth-related problems in the community.
Foundation representative Chalika Haninnee said the way to control and solve
drug problems is for people to keep a close watch on their community and
provide information to authorities.
Chalika said that the program’s solution to community poverty, child
abandonment and child abuse, was through job creation based upon each
community’s skills.
Members of the communities would be encouraged to use their free time in a
useful way and to supplement their income. “This will also help people to
live in harmony and be ready to face further problems together, thereby
creating the mechanism to effectively solve problems by the power of the
communities and the country,” she concluded.
She encouraged leaders to take this information back to their communities to
study, implement and publicize.
