Before her death, the Kings' Mother made a request to Boonthan Mahavan to do anything necessary to improve the standard of living for the hill-tribe people in Northern Thailand. One of Boonthan's projects is a small school near Mae Chaem that houses around fifty hill-tribe kids. The kids come from various groups such as the Aka, Lisu, and Hmong located near the Thai-Myanmar border areas.
I had a chance to visit this amazing school and spend a couple nights at Boonthan's house. In the next few days I will attempt to piece together a series of posts that highlight the school and various projects created to improve the life of these amazing people.
