Named after Dang’s 4-year-old daughter, Ava, the shelter is nestled near the vibrant city of Chiang Mai, home to 23 promising young children aged 5-15. Predominantly from the Akha indigenous community in the remote regions of Chiang Rai, these children face limited education opportunities at home.\n\n![DangAndFam](https://i.ibb.co/rZmb9Jf/dang-family.jpg)\n\nDang’s extraordinary journey from an orphanage to leading a shelter shines a light on his unwavering belief in the transformative power of education.\n\nAva’s House serves as a beacon of hope, offering accommodation near public schools for rural children to access education and opportunities. We prioritize imparting life lessons like compassion and teamwork, alongside exposing them to diverse career paths. The impact is evident, with several children progressing to high school and securing scholarships. Our dedication fills their lives with hope, opportunity, and the joy of learning.\n", "logoImgData": {}, "bannerImgData": {}, "projectTwitter": "avashousecnx"}
