ABSTRACT
Arriving to Rayong from IPSR, we visited Center for Migrants’ Pre-school Children. They are providing education towards migrants’ children (mainly Cambodian) and helping them to be able to access to Thailand formal school system. We had a chance to learn about migrants’ community situation. Then, we visited to Foundation of AIDS Rights (FAR) which provide health education, condom distribution, case surveillance, counselling, initial treatment, continuation of treatment, referral services in collaboration with health sectors, other organization and key personals in the community.
