These two children ‘Art’ and ‘Ploy’were
brought to Baan Khong Por (BKP) children’s home as their Mother and Father
didn't want them. They put them in front of 7-11 and the market to beg for
their food and couldn’t be bothered to
care for them. The Grandfather couldn’t care for them either so he brought them
BKP.
The children’s Hong Kong based sponsors
sent the children gifts from Hong Kong and
also some money to but themselves something they wanted. The following brief
report has been received from Liz in Pattaya:
“You will now have received the photographs
of Art and Ploy showing the gifts bought with Tom and Ubie’s kind donation, and
the Art supplies from his parcel?
It's good to see the photographs of the
sponsors, too. I think it was a lovely idea and certainly received well by the
children.

It seems that Art took some time to settle
in, and he still looked very overwhelmed when he called into the office after
shopping yesterday. We couldn't get him to smile, but he gave us a quiet
"Khun Krap" when we gave him a coffee sweet.
He and his sister are so different. Despite
her being the younger of the two she is less shy and seems to have taken to
life at BKP more easily.
Who knows what 'emotional baggage' he has brought with him, being the eldest of three children...he surely must have taken the brunt of the rejection, poor little lad.”
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.
