Despite the deep recession in which the country finds itself , our fundraising efforts 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
€3,000 - Safe Haven Orphanage which provides a "safe haven" for children in northern Thailand
€1,000 - Mahatai Suksa Nonn Somboon 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
€3,000 - 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 , Bangkok,Dedicated to helping poor children in Bangkok 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.
