Aung San Suu Kyi Message
A special message for the Thai Children's Trust
Children are the most vulnerable members of human society because of their physical weakness and material dependency. At the same time they are our greatest strength because it is they who will decide the future shape of our world.
The fate of migrant and refugee children is of particular concern; in addition to the deprivations they suffer they are often not certain if there is any part of the world they can call their own. The country they have left behind becomes a distant, unreal land to them. Yet the country where they find themselves may be inhospitable and their new home hardly less precarious than the old one.
Any effort to make the lives of such children healthier, happier or more secure is a truly worthwhile project. It will not only be a contribution towards the fulfillment of immediate needs, it will also constitute a contribution towards a better future for our country.
I hope that all who are in a position to help the work of the Thai Children's Trust will do so with generosity and enthusiasm. It is with respect and appreciation that I send my very warmest wishes to the Trust: may you succeed in your endeavours to help those most in need of help.
Aung San Suu Kyi
