Thailand Soccer Boy Joe

By Thai-Eyes | Oktober 9, 2008

Soccer Boy Joe is a young Akha hilltribe kid
and he loves to play soccer, like the most kids in Thailand.
Life is very difficult for youngster Joe, because he is born
on the wrong side of the border, in Burma/Myanmar.
As a young kid he came with his parents as refugees
to Thailand and now he has to fight to get a ID card.
In spite of everthing he´s always in a good mood,
likes to jape and is hoping all his problems will be solved one day.
There is a first blink for Joe, because with the help of our friends
he got a job in a noodleshop.
Every evening before sunset,
Joe likes to play soccer with his Thai friends,
so we asked him for a photo shooting with the football.
