Although most people are aware of the economic and technological advancements achieved by East-Asian countries, they often remain uninformed of the conditions or even the existence of those segments of the population that are neglected because of their geographical distance away from the urban centers of industry and commerce. Northern regions in Thailand remain grossly underdeveloped and are deprived of electricity, waste sanitation, water filtration and other goods and services that even their fellow countrymen have begun to take for granted for the last twenty years. In these regions, manual, subsistence agriculture remains the principal, daily priority for men, women and children. These regions are also fragmented on cultural faults with each segment practising a distinct set of customs and speaking a unique dialect; making attempts to integrate into mainstream Thai society impossible.

The Rotaract Club of the University of Toronto is ameliorating the situation by fundraising to stock books in a hill tribe school library. We hope to educate and empower them with better decision-making that will improve their quality of life. “Thai-ed Up: Fundraising for Hill Tribes” is a social open to all ages, but primarily catered towards those ages 18 and over
