Our world is still struggling and striving for the ideals of individual freedom and foreign policy laid out in this document. Exactly 63 years after that declaration was signed, we still have a very long way to go. “The children’s organization of south east Asia”
After witnessing the human trafficking of young girls among the Northern Thai Hill Tribes, photographer Mickey Choothesa and social worker Anna Choothesa devoted their lives to rescuing, rehabilitating, and educating formerly trafficked and at-risk girls. COSA takes a unique approach to addressing human trafficking: It actually works directly with the communities who traffic their children. In fact, the couple regularly communicates and connects with the traffickers to help show them that educating children is a much more sustainable practice than exploiting them. Volunteers from around the world can visit Ban Suu Yuk, COSA’s shelter in Mae Rim Thailand, which houses 15 formerly trafficked young women, and learn first-hand about the complex realities of human trafficking. Get involved by becoming a COSA ambassador, volunteering your skills, or sponsoring one of the girls.
