Orphans Against AIDS

Orphans Against AIDS-Thailand received a grant of $10,000 from the AllPeopleBeHappy foundation in 2008 to establish a Center for AIDS orphans in Chiang Mai, Thailand. The mission of the Thai Orphan Center (TOC) is to assist AIDS orphans in maintaining their health, furthering their education, and dealing with life challenges. In 2008, the Center’s facility was rented and renovated, and held its opening ceremony on November 23, 2008. The grant further provided for one full time officer, and initial health screening for the 200+ AIDS-affected students in the five school district service areas. The work of the TOC continues on with local funding.  (www.orphansagainstaids.org)
