Hi, I'm Katesarin
I'm a girl, 13 years old and live in Thailand.
Katesarin is living in a community where HSF organizes a school-based child development program to promote the children’s development, their necessary life skills, and quality of life through after-school activities. HSF social worker found that she is from a family with difficult circumstances; she is living with her grandparents, uncle, 2 younger brothers, and 1 younger sister. Her grandfather who was the family’s breadwinner, passed away in early 2023 due to a stroke. Her parents are currently imprisoned for their involvement in illegal activities. Her mother will be released on Aug 5, 2023, while her father has recently been incarcerated. Her uncle, who earns a monthly income of 10,000 baht, is responsible for all the family expenses. Her grandmother sells flowers only on Buddhist holy days, which is insufficient for the family’s expenses. The social worker considered that Katesarin should get individual support to ensure that her unmet needs are responded to comprehensively.
