We are often asked questions about The Children’s Rights Foundation and how it relates to BaanGerda. We set up the foundation in 1992 to administer the project of building schools along the Thai boarders with Laos and Burma. Later we focused our activities on a new project taking care of HIV infected orphans. We call this project BaanGerda and work for it since 2000. The foundation is registered both in Thailand and Germany.
It’s very important that we comply with the strict rules that govern charities, and our board of Trustees helps to ensure accountability and provide guidance. We are fortunate to have distinguished trustees who have invaluable experience and work hard for us ‘behind the scenes’ This has helped us to find sponsors and raise finance.
The name of The Foundation reflects my wife’s and my own views surrounding children’s rights and our duties, as adults, to protect them. This is a basic right that all children should have, especially when they have been deprived of their biological parents and are desperately sick.

Spot on! Good to see someone is taking the rights of these disadvantaged children seriously. If it’s not bad enough losing both of your parents but being born with HIV as well; these kids deserve every opportunity possible

Thanks for the review. I may write a similar article on this subject myself.
Oh also, loving the blog layout. I used to have a similar designed blog to yours before I sold it on.
