CHSFS is also helping with needs in Chiang Mai where a home for birth mothers is being converted to also support a child care center.  The orphanage in Chiang Mai (NE part of Thailand) also cares for children with HIV. FFCA is proud of the fact that they have never turned away any child, whether it be a child with physical special needs, a child with HIV or a child relinquished for adoption. 

Hope Home, pictured below, is a respite home for children who need physical therapy and some extra help. The goal is to keep this home setting small in order to provide the specialized care and love these children need. On it's walls is a poem written by a mother caring for a child with mutliple disabilities:

YOU HAVE TAUGHT ME

Written by Anne Maclellan

You have taught me patience
to rejoice in small gains which others take for granted.
You have taught me tolerance
to accept that your perspective is different and deserves respect.
You have taught me courage
to fight for you when no one else will.
You have taught me endurance
to go on when I feel I can't anymore.
You have taught me humility
to accept when I can't make things better
but can only be here for you. You have taught me to love
at a deeper level than I ever thought possible.
