After our visit to Chiangdow Hospital we went to Ban
Mitrathorn Orphanage where we learned about HIV/AIDS orphan care. Ban
Mitrathorn was set up for orphans affected by HIV/AIDS (both infected and
non-infected), abused children, children under inappropriate care and children
afflicted by hardships. This private orphanage provides the standard management
of welfare for the orphans so that according to their age they can sustainably
assist themselves while also maintaining morals and ethics. Below are pictures from the separate male and female buildings
as well as common areas used by all of the orphans.
Dr. Krebs made himself right at home as soon as we arrived and made this little one quite happy!
