With thoughts of Christmas approaching we thought we would update you on how some of the money donated is being spent.
Our Treasurer is visiting Pattaya during December and January and has been invited to visit the Youth Prison in Chonburi where there are 600 boys and girls aged between 9-17 years either on remand awaiting sentence by the courts or serving jail sentences. Many of these kids have committed offences through poverty, living on the streets or have been caught up in the drug trade
As many of these kids do not have families or friends to visit them or to bring them clothing or toiletries we have offered to use some of the money you have generously donated to help buy essential items such as, T-Shirts and Boxer shorts for the boys and , shirts and Bras for the girls. Towels, slippers, soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, detergent and personal hygiene items and underwear for all of the boys and girls.
In the New Year we will report on the visit to the prison and if possible include a few images although naturally there are restrictions on taking photos of kids in prison. We hope that you feel that helping these kids is a worthwhile way to use your donations and through you make the lives of the kids in the prison a little bit brighter.
Anyone wishing to make a donation can do so by visiting our website and clicking on any of the 'Donate' button and including the reference 'Youth Prison'.

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.
