| "Project
on Care and Empowerment of HIV Orphans |
|
| The Universal Church extends solidarity toward the Thai orphans living with HIV/AIDS | |
| The Catholic Committee on AIDS organized a "Project on Care and Empowerment of Orphans Living with HIV/AIDS" in order to help various Catholic centers working for orphans living with HIV/AIDS in Thailand. | |
| This project has been initiated by the Catholic Committee on AIDS by collecting data about orphans living with HIV/AIDS from various Catholic institutions working on hospices for these children in 2002 and submitted the project to different Catholic charitable organizations to obtain medicine, food, care and appropriate education for the said orphans. The intention is for those orphans living with HIV/AIDS under the care of those Catholic institutions will have a better quality of life and able to live normally in the society. | |
| Rev.Giovanni Contarin, president of the committee, is responsible for this project. The main objectives of the project are: 1. To develop potential of those children and enable them to live normally in the society 2. To set a model of how to take care of those orphans 3. To be a witness of the Church's teaching. | |
| From contacts with foreign funding agencies we have positive responses from the Caritas of Korea, Italy and Spain for a period of 3 years (2007-2009). | |
| The receiving Catholic institutions of financial support are 1. Baan Mitratorn, Chiengmai 2. Baan Sukruethai (Mother and Child Project), Bangkok 3. Camillian Social Center, Rayong 4. Lorenzo Home, Cholburi 5. Pastoral Care for People living with HIV/AIDS project, Kalasin, and 6. Suthasini Noi-In (for children) Foundation, Yasotorn. The total number of orphans who benefit from this project is 152. | |
| "Reasons for foreign funding agencies supporting this project are 1. These institutions are working under the auspices of the Catholic Bishops' Conference of Thailand in the spirit of the Gospel, and 2. There is a systematic network and there is an evaluation of work performances. Hence, all the money will have to go to the orphans as stipulated by the project description" says president of the Catholic Committee on AIDS. | |
| This project will commence from the month of January 2007 on with a bimonthly meeting of all the project coordinators to follow up the work. | |
