Baan Saan Rak

Dear friends of Baan Saan Rak. It makes us happy to welcome and thank everybody who has

collaborated from Baan Saan Rak (BSR) since our foundation in

September 2003.

This is the second Newsletter about the life and activities held in

BSR. We want you to know about our projects, activities and the

growth, letting you take part in the children’s present and future.

We are glad to tell you that the 23 children of BSR have a warm

home, regular meals, love, care and a family thanks to the

support of each one of you!

Baan Saan Rak Today. BSR is home for 23 children aged 9 to 18 years. They come

from dysfunctional and poor families of suffered violence and

abuses during their childhood which makes growing up very

difficult. BSR gives them all the love, support and tools they

need to rebuild their self-esteem and trust, giving them better

chances to become part of society like any other kid.

20 of them live in Maleao and attend from Monday to Friday to

three different public schools near BSR where they learn, share

and have lunch: Baan Tamao, Maelao Wittayakom and

Tesaban.

The other three live in outside BSR because their

technical schools are far from Maelao. (Chiang Rai

Vocational College and Assumption Techincal School

Nakhom Phanom).

Anyhow their education is still in Jit’s hands, she provides

support for their tuition and other expenses.

This March our students have finished their academic year

and some of them are going to spend their holidays with

their relatives. Furthermore, we are proud to tell you that

one our students has finished this month his studies on

the Assumption Techincal School Nakhom Phanom.

Activities After school the children come back to BSR to cook their own dinner, to take care of their homework,

wash their clothes and share life as a family. During weekends they finish their daily tasks and enjoy

playing sports, singing, drawing and having different activities which were prepared by NGOs,

universities and foundations .who support Baan Saan Rak.

FOOTBALL

Baan Saan Rak FC is the

team that the boys of BSR

have formed. They compete

on Saturdays and they train

during the week. His biggest

rival is a team also from

Maelao, Baan Moo.4 FC.

FUTSAL

The girls of BSR also play

football in Maelao Witayakom

Team. They play five-a-side

football with some friends of

their school. This year they

won a competition in Chiang

Mai!

FARM

On weekends BSR children cultivate vegetable in Jit’s family

farm. There we can find eggplants, vegetables Kwan Tung,

cabbages, Chinese cabbages and collards. In its turn children

become responsible of the plants, learning and understanding

that diary small actions can become big projects if they are done

with effort and commitment.


HENHOUSE

One of the daily chores is to

take care of chicken and ducks

that provide us eggs and meat.

DONATIONS

food, clothing, educational and

first aid supplies, books,

project.

FRUITS AND MUSHROOMS

mushroom room and a beans sprouts farm. It provide food for self-

consumption but also for selling it at market, The money obtained

from this sells is used to purchase other food, educational supplies,

etc..

HANDICRAFTS

The children of BSR make

crafts in order to earn some

extra money. The most

popular of all is using the

Batik-technique to paint cards

or clothes.


LANGUAGES

Thanks to the support of

our volunteers children

also have language

classes (English, Chinese

and Japanese), providing

them an extra backing

and better tools for their

future.
