Every month Pattaya Street Kids’ Support
Project (PSK) pay for a monthly delivery of food to some of our poorest
scholarship students and other kids living in the slum of Pattaya to help ease
the burden on their families.
The food is delivered for us by Suky and
Boonying of MERCY Pattaya and in doing these deliveries it often alerts us to
other problems that the families may be facing. If it is a problem with a child then PSK can often help
with the money needed to resolve the difficulty and if it is with adult family
members the Suky and Boonying can often offer help through MERCY Pattaya.
In the last six months our food bill for
kids we are helping has reached £7000 (350,000Baht) and we expect this to at
least double at the end of twelve months. For many of the families we are
helping the monthly food delivery is an essential lifeline to help enable them
to feed their kids and as in some cases we also pay for snacks at school the
food we supply may be the only food that a child eats in a day.
A few months ago a case was reported to us
of two sisters who were surviving on scraps of food left over from school
meals, fortunately we were able to help out with a monthly food drop but there
are probably many other children who are in the same situation but whose
families are either to proud or feel ashamed to ask for help.
If you would like to make a donation to
help us feed these kids you can do so by using the PayPal donate button on our
website or by using any of the other methods shown on this page: http://www.slum-kids.org/sponsorship/how-to-sponsor/
To make sure that you donation is used to buy
food simply put the word “Food” as the reference with your donation, your
donation can make a difference as to whether a child receives a meal or relies
on scraps of food for their daily sustenance
