This is a day - care center for prisoners' children and
children and children from slums and construction sites.
The
center is equipped with educational materials and a
professional staff to help provide children with basic education.
In 1996, the director of Phuket municipal prison asked
CWP to help with the problem
of prisoners who have nobody outside to look after their children.
We set up a day care center in the grounds of the prison and take
care of the children in the day. At night they sleep with their
mothers.
When the numbers decrease we take in children from nearby building
sites and slums.
The children often have medical conditions which need immediate care
and many have the psychological scars of arrests, constant changes
in environment and various traumas from the horrific experiences of
their young lives.
Phuket province does not have a resident child psychologist although
we are constantly seeking funds to hire one.
