Hi, I'm Karin
I'm a boy, 6 years old and live in Thailand.
Karin 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 he is from a family with difficult circumstances; he is living with his grandparents, uncle, 2 elder sisters, and 1 elder brother. His grandfather who was the family’s breadwinner, passed away in early 2023 due to a stroke. His parents are currently imprisoned for their involvement in illegal activities. His mother will be released on Aug 5, 2023, while his father has recently been incarcerated. His uncle, who earns a monthly income of 10,000 baht, is responsible for all the family expenses. His grandmother sells flowers only on Buddhist holy days, which is insufficient for the family’s expenses. The social worker considered that Karin should get individual support to ensure that his unmet needs are responded to comprehensively.
