COERR Mae Sot and the Peace Committee in Ban Umpiem Camp, Poppra District Tak Province, promote various activities for peace building. A meeting workshop was arranged in which COERR’s Healing of Memory and Reconciliation (HOM) provided knowledge in healthcare, e.g. prevention of common sickness such as Malaria, Dengue Fever and Diarrhea; and physical exercise which benefit circulatory system for elderly. The program also promoted awareness raising in public volunteering spirit among community members, including youth groups, through the home visit to elderly and sick people in their neighborhood.

During the visit youth learned about caring each other, especially the vulnerable elderly, understanding and encouraging the sick and weak elderly while staff followed up the living condition and needs of elderly for further assistance. Youth visitors, who gained their experience in caring for others, are expected to contribute to community strengthening in the future.
