On Tuesday 23 May of 2006 the mountains of north Thailand, saturated by heavy rains, were the scene of landslides and flash floods that killed many people.  In Uttaradit Province, over 40 people  were lost along with orchards, bridges and homes. The Faculty of Public Health at Burapha has sponsored an assessment of the disaster and the survivors. Acting on ideas stimulated by the CHART/Burapha University co-sponsored 2006 Bangkok International Conference on Art Therapy, a pilot project was set up to provide art training and supplies for some of the orphaned children in uplands that suffered the heaviest losses.  Artists selected by the Burapha Faculty of Fine Arts were sent to provide the training.
