COERR Mae Sot and Mae Hong Son team staff also provided the mobile CHILD FRIENDLY SPACES (CFS) for children in different sections, as follows:
Although difficult conditions like having only a few number of materials that made up a temporary movable Child Friendly Space, the children happily joined the activities. In Section 4, parents also showed interest and even joined the activities. Due to the enthusiastic participation on April 2, an appointment was made to continue the children activities for the next day. After the very successfully implemented children activities from the previous days, the children already awaited COERR and enjoyed the games a lot which lead them to distraction from the stressful time and enjoyed the time away from the stressful situation they are going through.
