Thanks to money received from donations made by audiences of the Lady Boys of Bangkok shows we are now helping these two sisters who were surviving on leftover food from school by making a monthly food delivery. Each delivery costs in the region of £25. The first delivery took place a few days ago. We are now looking at buying some bedding for the children.

Vanvisa age 10yrs and and Wanya age 14 yrs

The parents of these children are separated, so they live with their grandparents.  Grandfather is handicapped and cannot work and grandmother has rheumatoid arthritis and is unable to walk.
They live in abject poverty in a small, airless concrete room with corrugated metal roofing and door.  They sleep on a raised wooden platform covered with linoleum, with mosquito nets.  Father sends £40–£60 per month, as he is able.  The girls are sometimes given leftover food from school – if there is any. They need urgent help with education and food.


100 Years From Today
It will not matter how big your bank account was, the sort of house you lived in, or the kind of car you drove. But the world may be a little better because your help touched the life of one child.
