How can you prepare for ASEAN Community.
There are a total population of 577 million people in ASEAN 10 countries for which the economic is the main interest and to encourage children and youth to learn English, Chinese, etc. Development of children and young people using Media and Modern technology. Building roads to transport goods, etc.
But the development of these economies. It has both advantages and disadvantages.
1.Status of stateless persons is a phenomenon in the world today. In particular, the influx across national borders. A lot of stateless person problem has made the Sirindhorn Anthropology Centre to organize the 4th seminar to discuss multicultural about border issues. "The Multicultural and violence" 28-30 March 2012. The panel was invited to think of the problem as a nation state and to assimilation to the cultural diversity of the people. The question that Thailand is now a multicultural society. Established in a variety of different people as stated in the Constitution.
2.. Situation of human trafficking. The Mirror Foundation is working to combat human trafficking in Thailand for a period of nearly 10 years which has analysis and evaluation of the situation in the years 2011 - 2012.

3.Prevention and Resolution. The Thai Government has held a national agenda on this subject several years ago. But law enforcement and assist victims of human trafficking was a "climate of fear". Many victims do not dare to ask for help from the government agencies, especially the police for fear of "bad news".
These are just some of the documents we received from the Department of Social Development of Chiang Mai Diocese during the last priest’s bi-monthly meeting on ASEAN. When opening "The mission of the Holy Redeemer" of the Blessed Pope John Paul 2nd (7 December 1990) "to renew the promise for a new mission ... Mission in the restoration of a new Church on faith and belief as identity of the Christians. These bring enthusiasm and new incentive which firmly believe that when we show faith and belief "(art. 2), we are confident in the Pastoral Plan of the Catholic Church in Thailand 2010-2015, Discipleship, Pastoral Care of the Community and Our Mission of Sharing the Goods News in the way of community sharing. To be better prepared for ASEAN Community.
