The aim with this project is to implement the Diakonia Department’s 3 focus areas, into all our projects, ELCT congregations and their neighbourhood, by arranging camps and trainings all over Thailand. This will be done in co-operation with local ELCT congregations and local authorities. We believe that by working with the families, to make them strong and safe, will make our communities stronger.
