It was some time ago when we launched our Gamma Team idea.
Sadly, although we have had a couple of ex-volunteers doing what they can we still only have 2 official Gamma Teams; our first Faa gamma, headed by good friend Heather Mackay in Queensland , Australia; and Yai Gamma which is basically my Mum and my sister. Both these teams are doing their best to hold varying fund raisers most months and I would like to take the opportunity to thank all those involved for all their hard work and support.
Our present basic monthly running costs are around 1000 pounds sterling. Thanks to great efforts by both Gamma teams over the Xmas period and regular contributions from an American couple, we received a little over that for Januarys budget. This is the first time we have actually covered our budget totally with donations.
On average we are receiving just half of what we need with the remainder being made up by myself.
To sustain our work and to hopefully move forward this is not a tenable situation.
If you are looking in and have time , energy and ideas and would like to help a very worthwhile cause please consider joining our Fund Raising Family. Your “team” can be just one person or a group of friends. If you keep a record of your Fund raising activities and take some photos to we will give you space on our website where your efforts will be credited.
From jumble sales to home made fashion show, movie clubs to coffee mornings…..as the old adage goes,” every little helps” and with enough small fund raising teams around the world our target is not a huge mountain to climb.
If you are local to or visiting Chiang Mai and want to confirm what you see on our website via a personal visit please do get in touch.
We are dedicated to quality “family style” care with extensive efforts towards true development of each and every child’s potential, employing art, music, dance, character building work projects and are now moving forward with even more practical skills development, including basic electronics.
Please help us sustain our work, which is starting to show marked results. And not just to sustain but to develop and offer ”A Better Chance” to many more children in the future.
