Golden Cut Report
A Romanian writer said once that living is like driving a car, you always have to use the windshield, to look forward, and to progress, but sometimes you have to look through the mirrors, see what you’ve accomplished, what you can improve, and always share. This is what I will try to do now, look back a little bit, but suddenly my thoughts go to a place that not so long ago I used to call home. I remember reading the reports from previous DIs in Hornsjo, and being curious about their adventures, their experiences, their stories, and the stories of the people they’ve met.

Introduction:
The AWCs are focusing on the children from the slum areas with a very poor background that are forced by circumstances to contribute to their families economy (collecting plastic, rubber, paper etc.) or selling fruits/vegetable in the market. Most of the time their parents are illiterate migrant workers with a main objective: earn some money and then go back in their villages. Because the children don’t have any kind of documentation (they have documents but for their own villages not for the new states in where they are residents now) it is impossible to be registered in a government school. Visiting FED
(Foundation for Education and Development- Grassroots HRE) Our travel period is not only about seeing the places, it’s more about knowing the people, their customs and traditions, finding out about their problems, the educational system quality in their countries and health system – simplified, it’s about understanding South Eastern Asia. According to our investigation plan we wanted to visit a NGO in Southern Thailand. Why? Because we found out about the problems that the Burmese refugee are dealing with and we decided to see the matter in detail. We contacted FED and as we got a very quick reply we traveled from East Thailand to the West, to Khao Lak where the organization has most projects. The day full of surprises
Well, our day didn’t start with a positive move because as we arrived very early in Vientiane from Luang Prabang we had to face the mood of a Lao lady upset, we think so, that we sit on the table that she was going to sell. She started to scream and to grab our things to throw them. I read that is very hard to make Lao people angry but seems like we succeed very well, the sad part is that we don’t know the reason. |
