There is an organization called the Charis project which is working in Burma, to help the minority groups who are being annihilated by the Burmese government.  Many of these people are living as refugees on the borders, along with orphaned children.  The Charis project is working along with the tribal elders:

The immediate goals of The Charis Project are as follows:

*Raise money to help take care of the children orphaned by the Burmese government who have managed to escape to Thailand alone. Their immediate needs are food and shelter.

*Establish a permant base in Chiang Mai to work from.

*Develop good working relationships with the elders in the Lahu villages and refugee camps.

*Research and lay the groundwork for establishing the long term goals.
