Facebook and Akha Communication
Back in the 1990's and early 2000's I imnagined that Akha villages could be connected by cell phone and then by maybe a computer network to speed communication and reports of situations in the villages. Well now Facebook has far and exceeded that. Akha people are telling their own stories to each other via FB and videos and Youtube.
Flooding Oct. 2024
North Thailand has experienced severe prolonged flooding. There are countless reports of houses collapsing in mud slides in the Akha villages of Thailand and whole families being lost. One villagek, Huuh Mah Akha, had housing built for them on a very steep hillside by Rotary and I wonder how much of that hillside is still there. Previously an Akha woman and her child were lost when part of the hillside fell off and crushed the back wall of the house. A very sad situation in many Akha villages. The towns of Maesai where I used to live and Tachilek, Myanmar have also been severely flooded. Very sad as well. Apology:
I Had to move this website from its former web server in a hurry and it has taken a long time to reload this full website.
December 11, 2022 With many other duties I was forced to move the entire website over a period of three days. I got it all downloaded safely but did not get it reloaded to a new website until now. I hope it is all working but some links may have worn out. Where possible in the past I downloaded stories and original documents in anticipation of things expiring. Thinking of additional web content for this site is always a challenge. However I still have files to convert from when I got hacked while in Laos and abandoned the php system which was so susceptable to hacking. Quite a few of those pages.
I have a lot of photos to put into pages, that is a lot of work. Kids are growing up, life goes on. Now most of the Akha have smart phones doing youtube, facebook and many other apps. But hard copy websites are still good and I hope to continue to be able to update this site and keep this historic information here. I left Thailand when cell phones were just getting going, when smart phones weren't here yet. I think tonight of how much better these events and lives could have been documented in crucial times with good video and the means to communicate with so many people so fast. I suspect much crucial information is not being documented, from events to strategies by governments and organizations that are having effect on the Akha, some good, some not so good. When the scamdemic nonsense hit the world it saddened me that vaccines were forced on all Thais. I hope there are still those who escaped this process. Globally there appear to be a lot of adverse affects from the experimental money making vaccine that has been coerced on so many people. I am always available for communication. By phone or email. I appreciate that people wrote books and got a lot of information off of this website and also was kinda nice that they mentioned the site in their notes. The original goal of this site was to provide good information to people about the Akha and what was affecting their lives. Years ago we fought to prevent the taking of Akha lands. Word is that some land that was taken for projects, well those projects fell apart and the land is sort of abandoned, but the rice lands that had been there before were still displaced without compensation or replacement, robbing many Akha of their economic income. 27 New Akha Books, Word Studies, Pamphlets in Downloads
March 29, 2020 New Akha Books and Study Materials in Downloads 27 new Akha Language Books, Word Books, Study Guides and other Documents in Downloads. Had these for a long time, finally got them organized so that people can use them. Enjoy. More to come.

Covid19 In The Akha Community
March 25, 2020 The Akha Community is protecting itself best it can by preventing Akha who have been to Chiangrai, Chiangmai, Bangkok or abroad from returning to the villages in the mountains. They must reside with Akha friends in low land villages already located in close proximity to major urban areas.
The Video of Chaiyaphom Pasae at Thai Army Camp Never Released
March 25, 2020 Chaiyaphom Pasae: To date there is no evidence that the video from the video system at the Thai army camp where Chaiyaphom Pasae was detained and found dead has ever been released. Just wait long enough and everyone will forget about it seems to be the way of corruption and injustice.
Many Akha working overseas found it difficult to get a flight home weeks ago. Korea and Taiwan being a couple of those countries.
Activism For Helping the Akha People Akha Human Rights What You Can Do To Help Areas of Focus:
1. Missionary removal of Akha children and coerced conversion. 2. Thai seizure of rice lands, forced relocations, extra-judicial executions 3. The US Supported Drug War in Thailand which rubber stamps profiling and violence against the Akha and other ethnic groups. 4. Missing Akha Refugees in the US, Sacramento area. Your volunteer time and energy is needed to protect the Akha people.
Approximately 70,000 Akha reside in Thailand. 320 or more villages. The Akha have the least rights in Thailand of any country, suffer the greatest level of abuse and imprisonment. Their culture is destroyed by US missionaries.

Take Downs OMF pulls down web pages that describe the Akha in inaccurate ways. Jim Morris is an OMF CEO missionary in residence at Corbin College, Salem, Oregon. We have questions about the attitudes which are conveyed to the young people. Rotary Intl. pulls web pages and funding from CGT mission which removes Akha children. Other chapters of Rotary continued to support CGT. Lake Oswego Chapter.

The Choice
After considering the facts as a human rights activist, when it comes to choosing between following the teachings of christianity or following Jesus Christ, I have decided to follow Jesus Christ. Matthew McDaniel
Full Redemption Jesus Christ offers full redemption, in all spheres of human life, justice, land, food and the rights to one's own children. We should not ignore or overlook any aspect of human existence and fail to mention it in the redemption of the human condition. This includes the Akha and their need for security and the protection of rights. It does no good to claim that redemption only applies to the life here after, while ignoring the incredible suffering inflicted on these people. Individuals who claim that the great difficulties that the Akha face helps convert them, have distorted and deformed the gospel.
