Viengping Children's Home: How One Welfare Home has Dealt with the HIV/AIDS Pandemic

Abstract

In this paper, I examine how Viengping Children's Home (VCH) deals with HIV positive children at their home. In the introduction, I discuss what my job entailed at VCH and who works there. In the research section, I discuss what VCH does when HIV positive children come to VCH, how they live there from day to day, and the many programs that VCH has to help place the children back in the community. As wel1, I briefly touch upon the relationship between VCH and the NGO's and their goals they have for HIV positive children. In the Global Context and Sustainability section, I talk about some of the sustainability issues with HIV/AIDS in Thailand, what Thailand has done to fight HIV/AIDS. and how the world has been affected by the pandemic.
