If you would like to assist the work of the Foundation, there are many ways to help.

First and foremost, we and the Thai Karen appreciate help which is "hands-on", where that is possible. If you can spend some time with us among the Thai Karen, living with the people in their remote mountain villages, and getting to know them quickly as friends, then you will soon appreciate in what way you could and would assist in coming years. You might wish to "adopt" a particular family or a village, or a specific type of project, such as pure drinking water, education, or cultural preservation. Or you might have a special skill which you could teach to the villagers. We have found over the years that a personal commitment and a personal decision on how that commitment is implemented ensures a much longer-term relationship between those who wish to help and the recipients of such help.

Should you not be able to visit and live with us in the mountains of Northern Thailand, then you can still assist in many ways. Some examples are:

• fund-raising both in Thailand and abroad
• publicizing our Mission  to potential donors
• finding markets for Karen handicrafts
• recruiting volunteers/volunteer groups to come and carry out projects in Thai Karen villages
• securing media publicity for the Foundation's work
• informing the Foundation of innovative approaches to assisting in the development of the Karen
