BridgeWorks Centre

BridgeWorks has rented a property to use as a Centre to assist the children’s homes that BridgeWorks is involved with. It will incorporate residential care, nurture and training of ‘transitioning’ youth; external programs for children residing in the children’s homes (eg – after school, weekend and holiday programs); emergency accommodation for high risk children in crisis; and a place for coming together for shared events of the various children’s homes. Development of this is family-focused care, with residential house parents, and youth mentors.  The Centre is housed in a large double building suitable for multi purpose uses, on approx 5 rai (just under 2 acres) in Chiangmai.

Land has been located to enable Baan Birk Faa to move to a permanent location. They plan to grow much of their own food (fish, chickens, pigs, rice, fruit & veggies), as well as build residential accommodation.  A mango and lychee orchard already exists on the property, and BBF has planted 11 rai of rice already. The land is 17 rai (6.7 acres/2.7 hectares) which has been contracted with vendor financing over a 5 year period.  The children are very excited, and looking forward to moving to their very own place!

Beginnings!
