Ultimate Frisbee Tournament - Support Urgently Needed

January 20, 2008

Urgently Needed: $4,000 for Ultimate Frisbee Inter-Camp Tournament. One component of the DARE Network Teenagers for Kids program is Ultimate Frisbee.

Ultimate Frisbee has grown in popularity and is now played in 8 of the refugee camps along the Thai/Burma border.

In 2009, DARE Network will host an Inter-Refugee Camp Ultimate Frisbee Tournament. This is a great opportunity from youth from the 8 camps to convene for a day of competition and fun. However, to bring youth from all the camps together, funding is urgently needed, to the limited amount of equipment and accessibility of the game,

Please consider making a donation to support this unique opportunity for youth across the 8 camps. To learn more about the Teens for Kids program and view the 2009 budget click here.

Staff Changes at DARE Network

February 20, 2009

DARE Network is excited to announce the addition of Tha Nay Htoo to the DARE Network staff.

Tha Nay Htoo is the new General Manger of DARE Network and is responsible for maintaining community connections and overseeing all operations at the DARE Network office in Mae Sariang.

Tha Nay Htoo is Karen but is a Thai citizen. He grew up on the Thai/Burma border. Tha Nay Htoo brings with him a wealth of knowledge in addition to speaking 4 languages; Karen, Burmese, Thai and English.

Ko Lo Htoo will be leaving DARE Network after working 8 years as the Program Coordinator for the organization. Under Kolohtoo's guidance and leadership, DARE Network expanded its impact and was able to increase the efficacy of service delivery.

Kolohtoo's wisdom and passion will be missed. We wish Kolohtoo the best of luck as he continues on in his journey.
