Dear concerned persons

At the moment, I am in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I have talked to some of the people who recieved scholarships from the OSI. Most of them benefit from it. Congradulation. On the other hand, many of them complained about the staffs who are working in the OSI offices in Chiang Mai of being rude and treat the scholarship applicants as beggers. The OSI staff should understand the situation of the applicants and back up its claim,

"An open society is a society based on the recognition that nobody has a monopoly on the truth, that different people have different views and interests, and that there is a need for institutions to protect the rights of all people to allow them to live together in peace. Broadly speaking, an open society is characterized by a reliance on the rule of law, the existence of a democratically elected government, a diverse and vigorous civil society, and respect for minorities and minority opinions."...

I hope the concerned people, especially, from human resouce department should remind its staff in Chiang Mai, Thailand that it is working on the humanitarian projects but not barbarian projects.

Best Regards,
Loi Wai
