My Nonprofit Reviews
Akha
Review for Akha Outreach Services Inc, Arvada, CO, USA
Akha Outreach is run by Ajay and Nancy. It is a birth child of Paul Lewis, and is based on the destruction of Akha culture, forced or coerced conversion, and the removal of Akha children from their villages. It is part of an attempt to take over the Akha completely with one belief system not their own while desparaging their culture. Ajay of course does it for the money.

Really destroy the Akha.
Ways to make it better...
they hadn't been taking children away from villages and convincing them to abandon their own culture and religion.
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
Its own ideology of cultural destruction and racism against the Akha people.
One thing I'd also say is that...
there are many organizations like this destroying Akha culture in Thailand and taking away the children. Paul and Lori Vernon are also involved.
