Fund For Friends (FFF)

The group of volunteers led by Mr.Visit Dejkumtorn with strong belief in making this society the better place to live in. FFF has been recognized by many youth groups and worked closely with other organizations both private and public. There are numerous projects under care of the FFF with the objective to voluntarily and expect no returns. FFF's philosophy is to help themselves so that they can stand on their own feet in the eventual stage.

What are our "Hopeful Children"

We include those children and teen in the under-privileged conditions. The orphans ,the street children or those residing in the most abused and now under care and therapy of their shelter homes. Many are physically handicapped including as blinds , deft , limb-less or suffer from mental problems. For any of those less fortunate children , we consider them our "Hopeful" children as they will one day grow up to be a part of our society. Even though they don't have much chance in this competitive society due to their limited resources and education compared to other regular children.. We just hope that this "For Hopeful Children" program will be the little step to create awareness among themselves by showing them that some people out there still care for them. Above all , they have friends. We hope also that we can in some ways nurture and kindle their souls to be a good citizen and strengthen their spirit to stand up in their own community.

Project "For Hopeful Children"

Approximately 500 hopeful children from many shelter homes from all over Thailand to join in this project. Support and cooperation from volunteers , other NGOs and business organizations has been rendered to carry out the projects. A number of prepared activities for the children to be entertained and developed their self awareness. We believe that through the program ,the hopeful children will feel more confident to grow up and stand up firmly in this competitive society.
