The Human Help Network Thailand hosted a “child protection card game” to raise awareness about keeping kids from falling prey to molesters and other criminals.

HHN Director Ratchada Chomjinda opened the March 21 event at the Diana Garden Resort with Pirun Noi-eemjai, director of the Drop-In Center, and Diana Group Managing Director Sopin Thappajug.

Local teachers and volunteers from Pak Ping Kumpai, Father Ray Foundation, Sotpattana Kindergarten and about 50 Thai and Southeast Asian children all participated.

Kids were taught to play card games invented by Watcharapong Suebsiri and Thonghchai Poromachan from the St. Gabriel’s College, an all-boys private school in Bangkok that helps children stand their ground, avoid risks and protect themselves when needed.

The cards also advised how the kids should behave when not with their parents or entirely alone, the right decisions to make, and what to avoid while they are waiting for their parents to pick them up from school.
