A few days ago sponsors who were unable to be in Pattaya at this time gave two little girls and their grandparents a super treat by sending some money for a birthday shopping treat.
Unfortunately, although it had been arranged ahead of time, when Suky went to pick them up, another family member had already taken Thipwan out somewhere and they weren't back. However, since they are virtually the same size, Wanvisa decided that she would be responsible for choosing Thipwan's things - and a very good job of it she made, too.
It seems that she likes everything yellow, and her sister's favourite colour is pink, so Suky and she did try to stick to this, although it wasn't always possible because of the size. That said, after choosing new outfits, they bought a soft toy and a big bucket of KFC and a birthday cake to take home to share with family and friends - the very first time they'd ever been given such a treat. Everyone was so happy.
It seems that their aunt is married to a farang, and so her children have lots of lovely things and the girls are used to getting their cast-offs, for which they're grateful, but it's not the same as being able to have something beautiful AND new AND all their own, you know?
We were thrilled to learn that Wanvisa is first in her class of 40 students. Isn't that great? Thipwan is not doing quite so well, she is 14th in her class, but when we think of such big numbers of students we reckon that's pretty good, too.
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.
