Our
country is beginning to recover from recession but still, through
the generous support of sponsors, relatives and friends, we have
managed to raise the necessary funds for this year. The total allocation
for this year is €11,000. The funds have been allocated as
follows:
€1,000
- BaanGerda, a children's charity that provides homes and
care for HIV & AIDS infected orphans
€3,500
- Safe Haven Orphanage which provides a "safe haven" for
children in northern Thailand
€1,000
- Mahatai Suska Nonn School for Children from the Leper Village,
Khom Kaen
€1,000
- The Wiang Kaen Centre in Northern Thailand which provides
care for the Hill Tribe children
€1,000
- The John Manning Project works with disabled children
among the Hill Tribe people
€2,500
- The Melissa Cosgrove Children's Foundation which provides
for children who live with their parents on large building sites
in Thailand.
€1,000
- Clown Eckie, The Gift of Happiness Foundation, Bankok,
dedicated to helping poor children in Bankok and throughout Thailand
While
these donations may seem like small amounts, they are substantial
figures to these charities in Thailand. I can assure you they have
been gratefully received and they all have confirmed that these
sums of money will make a real beneficial difference to them and
the children.
