We are visiting villages located on Thai-Myanmar border to care for the Myanmar war refugees, war victims and war displaced people fleeing the present on going Myanmar civil war between the civilians and the Myanmar military government and its regime.
As we give free medical treatment and care for the war victims, we move around and between the villages where Myanmar war victims and refugees are staying on and along Thai-Myanmar border. We stay 2-3 days in each village as necessary.
Most of these villages are located in the middle of nowhere; up in the hills, in the valley, and on the plain along Thai-Myanmar border. We move around villages for about 7-10 days at one time before we get back to our base camp in Chiang Rai town to get more supplies and reloads.
Food and Lodging cost:
It is 450 US$ for food and lodging for 5-7 days; per trip.
Funding and Budget:
As the is an absolute free will-humanitarian project, individual funding or donation of any amount for medical supplies purchase is advised.
To give free medical treatments and health care to the war refugees we need 2,000 US$ for medical supplies per trip; every 5-7 days. We see 50-100 sick people a day.
Type of volunteers:
Any one can volunteers despite your religion, background and education.
But we strongly welcome nurses, doctors, midwifes and all the medical background people and medical professional of any field.
Minimum commitment:
5-7 days; you need to stay at least 5 days for one trip as we only go back to town once in every 5-7-day.
Security Concern:It is safe since we are on Thai soil, villages on Thailand. We are not crossing into Myanmar villages. Myanmar War refugees are on Thai soil, that's where we are visiting.
