Mrs. Vogt, a Thai national living in Japan, is very concerned that so many children leave these villages for Bangkok in the hope of findingjobs that will help them and their families survive. Once they get there," says Mrs. Vogt, many ofthem are tricked or sold into prostitution or other terrible things. They can never go home, and many ofthem do not survive." According to Cameron Beatty, who presented the check on behalf of the Ephraim Rotary Club, Mrs. Vogts goal is to help the village schools keep the fjiildren in the villages at least up til them complete high school. The best way to do that is to educate them and give them the means to help themselves.

Die UVHBA has provided Snow with scholarships for students interested in the building program and help students remain current on all of the latest technology used in the industry.

Die Ephraim Rotary Club contribution will be used to establish a meat-producin- g chicken project. The school children will do all the work themselves, caring for the chickens, eating the eggs and meat they produce, and selling excess production for cash to be used in other projects. Rotarian Beatty said, The effects ofthese projects are The children and their families eat better, the children learn valuable skills which will help them as adults, and they now have a reason to stay in the villages. I cant think ofa better way to help people than by helping them to g. help themselves." |
