 motorcycle gangs and racing. These young men and women are heading down a dangerous path by making poor choices in friends, working low-paying daily labour jobs and becoming a financial burden on their families. Unless somebody reaches out to help, they will become further secluded and vulnerable, entrenched in the cycle of poverty. All young people deserve to be known, loved and protected—especially when facing the harsh realities of poverty as they are coming of age. Compassion is wholly dedicated to providing impoverished boys and girls with the love and protection they need. One big way to address these needs is to offer a safe space for youth to belong—to gain a healthy self-identity, become disciples of Christ, be motivated to pursue economic independence and make a difference in their families and community. With your generous investment, Compassion’s local church partner of 17 years, Ban Mae Hoe Church, hopes to build a sports and learning centre to welcome more children and youth into an environment where they can develop healthy relationships and habits that will serve them well as they become the radiant young men and women God designed them to be. By engaging their minds, bodies and time in worthy endeavours—like sports, music, relationships and school—we can release youth from the devastating effects of poverty and give them a place to find their identity in Christ.
While 96 per cent of children in Thailand attend elementary school, many lack enriching resources outside of the classroom. Only about one third have children’s books at home, and about one fifth have no toys to play with.
Ban Mae Hoe Church has been faithfully partnering with Compassion Thailand since 2005. It is a small but mighty church of about 40 adults and children in Ban Mea Hor Sub District that serves 297 children and youth at the main centre and 81 children at the satellite location. Beneficiaries in Compassion’s child development program are gaining life skills as they engage in group activities and volunteer community service. Eleven young people have even decided to participate in a Bible course. The church mentors the youth through care groups and engages in community evangelism to share the gospel. Parents and local community organizations alike have come to trust the church, recognizing its ability and commitment to build into their young people. With your help, this church partner can build a sport and learning centre to give these precious kids a place where they can find their identity and security among caring Christian adults who have their best interests and their future success at heart. Constructing a new facility will create space for more at-risk beneficiaries to find a meaningful place of purpose as they grow up.
All children and youth seek belonging. But when identity, love and security aren’t readily available, they can go searching for them in unhealthy and even risky ways. Compassion’s church partner wants to offer at-risk youth in rural Thailand an environment that encourages learning, promotes holistic development and strengthens mental health. The new facility will include two open rooms to play sports, two classrooms, a takraw court (a cross between volleyball and soccer, played with a rattan ball) and a volleyball court. Here, young people will enjoy safety, belonging and fun instead of isolation at home or danger on the streets. The sports and learning centre will provide a creative environment where kids can play sports, learn music and gain useful life skills through vocational training.
Local contribution: Because of the limited size of our church partner, no local contribution is required.
Handling of funds: Compassion Thailand will work with Ban Mae Hoe Church staff and leadership to oversee the intervention budget.
Monitoring and follow-up: Compassion staff will conduct site visits and report on progress during the construction. Staff will perform a six-month evaluation to ensure the facility is serving the beneficiaries.My colleague John Page Williams, who works for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, is also involved in the Maryland CCA. He turned me on to Careful Catch Maryland, which is promoting the use of catch cradles used by muskie anglers to keep big bass in the water during release.
The science behind it is that the less a fish is handled on release, and the less time it spends out of water, the more likely it is to survive.
Check out this scientific paper on catch and release mortality, and how your gear and handling affect a fish’s recovery.Tepoztlán is a pueblo magico – a magical town – when you come here you’ll understand why, it is an inherently mystical place.
