Mattayom Kids Get Their I.Ds

Thanks to the help of Tais teacher, we were able to sort out the I.D requirement for the three Mattayom level children this Saturday. After a small hiccup in the morning with some missing paperwork we returned to the Amphur office in Sarapee mid afternoon and with Khruu  Bleechaa  help secured I.D cards for Thai , Bong and May. The whole process took around an hour and the only fee was 10 baht for each card.

Thanks once again to Khruu Bleecha for his help and to the friendly staff at the Amphur office to. These I.D cards are now valid for 8 years.

I.D or Not I.D

As previously mentioned a while back, there is now a new requirement for all children 7 years and older to carry an I.D card. We had thought that this would mean us having to take some of our children all the way to their “home” Province of Nan to get this done.

Thankfully this is not the case and we can get it done here in Sarapee. After liaising with the local schools we took all our Prathom level children to the local Amphur office where many local children were getting their I.Ds done.

The process turned out to be less straight forward as we’d hoped when, despite having the school teacher there verifying our children’s identity both in person and on paper, it transpired that the officials would not process any I.Ds with out original birth and house papers. As all the original documents for our children remain in the hands of their families this means that we are now waiting for the paperwork to be posted from Nan before trying again.

Appeal Cancellation…..New I.D Law Expenses

 Foundation Blog, Lead  No Responses »
May 282011
 

Due to having now been told that the new I.D Law is on hold pending the upcoming Election. This Appeal is cancelled for the time being.

Recently passed legislation means that all children 7 years old and upward require an I.D card. Whereas the card will be supplied free of charge, the first issue must be done in the children’s home districts.

This means that we have to take all the relevant children from Nan Province back home to get this done before July 10th.

This is likely to be a 3 day trip at a cost of around 5000 baht fuel and accommodation expenses.

We would like to ask for your help to cover the costs of this unavoidable trip.
