School for Life

"The school for Life adopts children from difficult backgrounds: AIDS orphans and children at risk. Around 50 children have found their way to this school, in one way or another. By acknowledging their right to happiness, looking after them psycho-socially, offering them a new home, and providing them a first-class education, the School for Life gives them hope." They also established a second school in Southern Thailand to look after Tsunami orphans. Visit the web site to find ways you can visit and contribute to the schools.
