Although Thailand’s urban areas are the first to benefit from economic development and foreign investment, problems like persistent poverty and uneven economic improvement remain. One organization that seeks to address these issues is The Human Development Foundation, 100/11 Kae-ha Klong Toey 4, Dhamrongratthaphiphat Rd., Klong Toey, Bangkok 10110, Thailand (☎02 671 5313; www.mercycentre.org). Devoted to the grassroots development of Bangkok’s poorest neighborhood, Klong Toey. The founder, Father Maier, constantly needs donations and volunteers for his schools, HIV/AIDS and drug prevention programs, legal aid projects, and infirmaries.
