if everyones going to start walking around SHV looking like them pictures, the point will have to go to #TeamShitsville

i cant see many backpackers letting street kids loose on their hair to give them dreadlocks, and the kids already know how to braid hair i see them doing it all the time,
once shes taught them how to dreadlock hair, will the kids start working for her? or will all the money they receive from doing it go straight to their parents who make them work the beach in the first place? i dont see who is going to really benefit from this...

As a old friend of Thida i can say she is a good person.

i never doubted she was a good person, im just not sure of what her plan actually is to do?

Hey Thida !

wow, you've got your own thread here (free advertising from CEO thank you GM), so don't be shy to come on here and say hello and maybe tell us a bit more about your idea for the kids. Just because everybody doesn't like dreads doesn't mean we're hostile. I would even offer you my hair for the kids to practice on, but I'm not sure that would be a good advertisement for your work But maybe we can you offer ideas...
The main "problem" I have with your idea is that these children should not be working at all. Maybe you should be teaching their mothers so they can earn enough to feed the kids and send them to school ? In general, empowering women has a greater overall impact on society than jobs for kids. Just an idea.

And before you start anything at all, it could be a good idea to contact the people who are already working with beach/street kids in SNV. This association has a good name, but please correct me if I'm wrong CEO posters :http://mloptapang.org/

good shit.

Thida is a old school lakeside chiller.

while traveling around through northern thailand, a thai friend noticed that you can get dreads in Pai and he hadn't seen that before in his home town of Chiang Mai. for the rest of the trip, every time he'd see someone with dreads, he'd walk up and politely ask, "did you get those in Pai?"

still makes me smile thinking about his awkward conversations that ensued.

Vocational training for Children? Seriously reconsider your idea, Thida. It's clear it comes from the right place, but this is not the right way to help street children.

Besides, would militant vegan social justice warrior hippies want to encourage child labour by having their dreads tended by street kids? I'd have thought they'd rail against the very idea.

Now he can come to Sihanoukville and get them for half the price. Tell your friend to spread the word, LoL!

the proper street kids , as in the ones who don't sell stuff and dont have there parents within earshot , wont be interested in being taught to play with a barangs hair .for what?

they will nick your earrings or phone
