Believe | lightfootstepsdance

Believe.

We believe in passion. We believe in getting lost in plotlines, writing plotlines, the inherent freedom of every single one of the 7 billion that occupy this earth to feel empowered to pursue whatever their dreams desire, from creative writing to dance to sports and changing the world.

We believe in recovery and willpower. We believe that hospitalized youth, especially those admitted with chronic or terminal illnesses, should not only receive the bare necessities of physical health, but be able to pursue any passions and dreams they may harbor before disease overcame them. Don't let their disease define them,

We believe in identity, being able to hold on to the things and hobbies that fill our hearts with joy, regardless of our condition.

We believe that there is no "us" and "them," the hospitalized youth.

They may be blocked from the general public's view, blocked watching the streets and people walking below from their windows above. They may have physical and mental deformities. But they are not monster-like abnormalities.

There is no "us" and "them."

There is only we.

What we Do

We match the resources of the city to the pasions of hospitalized youth in Chiang Mai. Hospital youth covers a wide range of illnesses and ailments, from mental retardation to broken legs to Dengue fever. Although we currently focus on dance, music, and athletics, bringing in teachers and volunteers from all three fields, we aim to expand to other fields to cater to more individual youth in Chiang Mai. We have a dedicated team of six people who manage the volunteer base, including the logistics of the campaign.

As from the words of the founder, "We don't entertain hospital youth, we empower them."
