The children from Safe Haven Orphanage create a number of different craft items to help generate income that they can then use for their every day living.

In this photo shoot, they are displaying some of their traditional Karen weaving. These include scarves, tops and skirts that they make at the orphanage. Friends and supporters of the orphanage then sell these items in western countries with all money going back directly to the orphanage and the children.

Songkran – The Thai New Year

Simon — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 06:02:55 +0000

The Thai New Year is celebrated every year from April 13 to April 15. It coincides with the New Year of many calendars of South and Southeast Asia. Songkran falls in the hottest time of the year in Thailand, at the end of the dry season.

The most obvious celebration of Songkran is the throwing of water. People roam the streets with containers of water or water guns, or post themselves at the side of roads with a garden hose and drench each other and passersby – including photographers!

The throwing of water originated as a way to pay respect to people, by gently pouring a small amount of lustral water on other people’s hands or over a shoulder as a sign of respect. Nowadays, the emphasis is on fun and water-throwing rather than on the festival’s spiritual and religious aspects, which sometimes prompts complaints from traditionalists. In recent years there have been calls to moderate the festival to lessen the many alcohol-related road accidents as well as injuries attributed to extreme behavior such as water being thrown in the faces of traveling motorcyclists.
