Some important issues concerning our environment, natural resources and health have been neglected or over looked for a long time. Examples of these are: carbon dioxide emission, AIDS, pregnancy before marital ages and abortion, H5N1 virus, scarcity of natural resources, etc. These problems can bring about massive long term downside effects if are continually left unsolved. Many worldwide organizations have been trying to educate the people but the results have not been so effective since the problems have been attacked at the middle or at the end of the chain. Values and effective habits are best planted in the early years of childhood. Therefore to promote an awareness among Thai community, our objective is to distribute educational materials and share with the Thai schools, especially in the upcountry our knowledge and involvements.

ISB students participating in the Sparrow Home Community Service Club will have the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of a group of young children being cared for at Sparrow Home while the children's mothers are serving time in Thai jails.

The children range in age from around one year to six. Club officers will be expected to arrange activities and snacks for the children on each Friday visit.
