Ban Kua Darun later evolved into Support the Children Foundation, which was established in 1992. “Each shelter took care of six children at a time.”She admitted that it was not easy to treat HIV-positive children at that time, particularly those with serious symptoms, because of limited resources and knowledge. No more HIV-positive children have succumbed under Prakong’s care after that initial five-year phase. “If they have any issue, I am ready to stand up for them.”At present, the Support the Children Foundation still cares for 36 HIV-positive children. These days, no HIV-positive children are abandoned at the hospitals,” the elderly doctor said slowly.
