      Sadly, although Thailand is very much a fast developing country, that many like to visit for its vast variety in landscape and culture, there still lies, behind the facade of the Tourist trail, a significant problem with orphaned, abandoned or at risk children. Whether it be from natural disaster, ( how can we ever forget the Tsunami?), poverty in the rural villages, political upheaval and even war,( such as the problems along the Burmese border), many many children end up alone and on the streets; or in homes where they are neglected or abused and at risk from human traffickers taking them for slave labour or the sex trade.

      We would like to join in the efforts to alleviate these problems by providing more places within an environment of high standard care and support to give some of these children A Better Chance.

      How you can help

      We are seeking donations of money, short or long term sponsors to develop & maintain accommodation for the children, to purchase clothing, bedding, toiletries and food for them and also deal with their medical requirements, until they are old enough and in a position to make their own way in life.

      You could help by fund raising, holding events to benefit our foundation and generating awareness of our work and needs.

      Perhaps you could volunteer, work directly with the children at the foundation. We can arrange for budget accommodation and we can give moderate support in terms of guidance and advice to people new to this region, helping them to acclimatise themselves with living in Thailand.

      What ever you can do to help, is better than doing nothing. And that is sadly the current position for many of the young children in rural Thailand.

      Please consider making a donation.

    Mays 11th Birthday

    Monday saw the first Birthday party for one of the children from Nan. It is strange how Thai people don’t appear to take so much note of their birthday or, indeed, birth year. There was a little confusion at first with May claiming to be 12 years old. Checking her birth certificate I confirmed that she [...]

    Bike Road Surface Appeal-Allys Offer

    As reported last week, the basic layout of the bike road around the house is now finished, after much hard work by the children.
    It is rideable now but with a very rough shingle surface.
    We would like very much to complete the road with either concrete or possibly sand and stonedust mix.
    We estimate the full cost [...]
