The team is named after Founder member Heather, using her Thai name.

The team members are; Heather Mackay; Dawn Mackay; Luca Martinelli: Chloe Martinelli; Vesna Ivkovic; Michelle Huxtable and Azadeh Niah.

Hopefully we’ll get photos of all team members soon.

Our first Gamma Team , Faa Gamma has already been hard at work for the Foundation.

After collecting donated items for around 6 weeks, and storing them at Heathers house,

The guys got together to sort everything into categories, ready for a car boot sale the next day.

Luca loaded everything into the car.

And the early next morning, like very early, 3.30am, Heather and her Mum set off to get to the car boot sale for 5am.

As you can see they had to wrap up warm in the cold and dark.

Sterling work, it really is great support and encouragement to us here in Thailand to see others pitching in like this.

After setting up whilst it was still dark and spending 7 hours rallying buyers, packing in the searing heat of midday they managed to raise $200, Australian.

Yep, this hard working and enthusiastic team hail from the great Australia.

They have another car boot sale planned for September, a Fashion Parade in November and many more great ideas for the future, just what we need, thanks a lot all you guys.

‘Gamma’ is the Thai pronounciation of what we refer to as Karma.

Take your chance to make some good Karma for yourself and the children.

Just get some like minded friends together , give your team a name, (the base team is ‘Gamma Stratton’), and come up with ideas for fundraising.

We will give each team their very own page on the website where they can show their efforts, add links to their own sites, and basically be a real part of this project. And each team will be given a Buddha image of their own to inspire them in their work.

If you wish to join us with your own team we simply ask for a commitment to at least one fundraising event per year.

Once you have made your team just use our email contact,(thestrattonabcfoundation@gmail.com), to send us details of team members,(preferably with photos), location, and your initial ideas about the Foundation and fund raising and we will post a team page. Then simply update us on any fundraising events so we can update your page.
