In Instagram Live session, the founder of Neya Global, Ms. Anna Neya, joined forces with the esteemed founder of Nicholas Motivates Initiative (Abuja, Nigeria), Ugwuanyi Nicholason @mayor_of_nsukka for an enlightening conversation on a pressing issue of our time: Period Poverty, Menstrual Shame, Menstrual Stigma, and Menstrual Taboos in the 21st century.

Recently, Good Shepherd Thailand had the privilege of hosting Father Brian, a passionate advocate for social justice and community development from Australia. During his visit, Father Brian engaged in insightful discussions about the importance of income generation programs for supporting vulnerable communities in Thailand and the Southeast Asia region. 

In a world facing pressing environmental challenges, it has become increasingly vital to raise awareness and educate communities about the importance of environmental protection. Recognizing this need, Ms. Anna Neya launched an environmental awareness education course last year. The course was generously donated to Good Shepherd Thailand, which has been implemented in charity centers across the congregation.

Wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year filled with peace and joy.

STOP VIOLENCE AND MAKE THE CHANGE WITH CARE

November 25, 2022, is the UN International Day for Elimination of Violence against Women, and this is the second year when the Fountain of Life Women Center, Sister Piyachat initiated the event in Pattaya City Hall to bring the attention of local authorities to the issue of gender-based violence, women protection, and empowerment.

It was a great honor to get introduced to Brother Anurak and the Monfort Brothers of St Gabriel Congregation Mission in Chiang Mai, North of Thailand.

In 2006 the Good Shepherd Thailand Sisters started work in Phuket, a tourist area in the South of Thailand. 

Nowadays, the Good Shepherd Thailand mission in Nong Khai is well-developed with GBV projects led by Sr Jinjana, the Sustainable living project led by Sr Sutisa, and the Hand of Hope project led by Sr Pranee.

In Chiang Mai, the Good Shepherd Thailand Mission is represented by the Wildflower Home, which provides safety, education, health care, and other support to women in crisis, often pregnant or accompanied by young children. 

On October 9, 2022, The Good Shepherd International Foundation representatives, together with Sr Lakana, Sr Apinya, and Ms. Anna Neya visited the Good Shepherd Pattaya Mission.
