He explained that we could not have organized the Trio without the help from our partners and the community, who provided the ambulance, nursing staff, police support, and food and water.<\/p>
The events took participants through the rainforest, alongside lakes and mountains and through a reforestation project, ending at Meaphahaen School, which had been a BABSEACLE supported partner.<\/p>
Meaphahaen School was delighted to receive a number of bicycled donated by participants of this year\u2019s Trio. The bicycles have been used by students to travel to and from school. Most of the students at the school were orphans from Northern ethnic minority communities.<\/p>
Participants in the Trio For Justice also helped to raise funds for social justice causes in the region, including: prisoner rights, juvenile justice, discrimination, citizen rights, statelessness, environmental issues, access to health care, sex worker rights, child rights, and helping to build university based Community Legal Education (CLE) programs.<\/p>
