Introduction: The Mirror Foundation, a non-profit non-government organization (NGO). Mirror Foundation is established in 2534, last 18 year. The name of the Foundation is call ‘Art and Culture Mirror group’ and in years of 2547 they change to ‘Mirror Foundation’. The director of the Mirror Foundation is Mr. Sombat Boongamanog (Nuling); are working in the Mae Yao sub-district of Chiang Rai province in northern Thailand. We employ a number of projects to help the peoples of our area make a better life for themselves while still retaining their cultural identities. We believe that with a strong, active community the hill tribes can make the transition to a beneficial coexistence with lowland Thai society and combat such issues as drug abuse, erosion of culture and trafficking of women and children.

I am internship in the Volunteer Teacher Project. It is very interesting in my project. We can get a lot of experience to me for planning to working with students and children. And how I can help people live in hill tribe village:
Volunteer Teacher Program
The Mirror Foundation enlists the help of the volunteer teachers to accomplish these projects. These are committed, dynamic individuals of all ages and backgrounds that choose to devote their time, skills and energy to the work of the Group. Most of the volunteers are technologically savvy and obtain information about the program through this webpage. Thus far over 2,000 volunteers have already come to Chiang Rai to work on the Mirror Art Group's various projects in the area. A typical placement will last for 4 or 5 days, in groups of up to 50 people. The volunteers live with villagers for the duration, trying to fit in to the tribal culture as much as possible. Projects involve teaching Thai (the second language of the hill tribes) and English, helping the farmers in the fields, and entertaining the children with games and songs. The rewards are numerous for both the volunteers and the children. Volunteers have a rare opportunity to learn about and form bonds within a minority culture that is misunderstood by the majority of lowland Thais and unknown to most of the world. They also realize new skills as they meet the challenges of a much more strenuous life and gain satisfaction from their interactions with the children. The hill tribe children living in remote villages gain an opportunity to practice language with native speakers, derive pride in their culture from the-
genuine interest of the volunteers can use the volunteer teachers as positive role models during their inevitable integration into Thai culture.
Second-hand Clothing Program
When we purchase something with our own money, we are more likely to feel the value in it. This is the premise behind the Second-hand Clothing Program which takes donated goods and resells them to hill tribe villagers at about one-tenth the cost of new items. While a shirt for 10 baht ($.25) may seem virtually free, the fact that it is not free causes the purchaser to feel a sense of investment and ownership in it, and we are more inclined to take care of those things in which we have an investment. The income from the program is not large, but it is sufficient to offset the cost of transportation to the villages on "market days." Whatever income is left over is used to fund other
small projects at the Mirror Art Group. During the winter months, the temperature in the hills can drop below freezing, conditions for which bamboo huts provide inadequate protection. Each winter, the Mirror Foundation makes a special call for donated socks and blankets. This year, we were able to give each
home in our 45 target communities a new blanket and each child a new pair of socks.

History and Information about Children's Committee
Over the past decade or so, armed conflict has not only killed and injured more and more people; it has also let t a dramatic increase in the number of children separated from their families. This growing phenomenon of separation has been a product both of the nature of armed conflict and of the number of wars. The genocide and war in Pol Pot regime in 1975 is thought to have caused more then 100,000 children to be separated, while the civil conflicts in
Enraged by five years of relentless
Various factions fought for control of
All these issues pushed the Children Right non pay much attention and care day to day. Not only the children in the city but also in remote areas are all don’t understand well with their own right to be participated and voiced to the communities bases. By seeing these, we, the youths for the right of the child, were administered a committee for Children’s rights called Children’s Committee (CC) through an election of children at all levels in different provinces at a workshop on the right of children on September 20, 1995.
Children's Committee is a non-governmental orgainisation, non-profitable, and no tendency to politic waters. CC has selected four children to lead projects to promote the rights of children and educational programme and vocational training. All project leaders are volunteers between the ages of 13 and 18 years and the management committee are over 18 years and CC operates as a non profit NGO. CC provides assistance and support to all children regardless of any political affiliation and completely without prejudice.
All programme chairpersons and programme leaders are Cambodian nationals who dedicate their time and energy to perform these tasks on a volunteer basis. There is no shortage of volunteer labour; therefore, our only constraints are a lack of technical support and financial assistance to develop our organization
