French sponsors visit to Pattaya

As these students' sponsors were visiting Pattaya from France they took the opportunity to take their students for lunch and shopping.

After the sponsors were picked up from their condo, and the boys from school at 3.30pm,  everyone enjoyed a delicious Swensons ice cream treat  before heading off into Tesco Lotus to allow the boys to choose some clothes for themselves and some supplies for their families.

Of course no visit could be complete without taking home a treat to share with the family, and so Dunkin' Donuts rounded off the day.

Bruno and Dominic were pleased to see the boys again, and were surprised to see how they've grown since their last visit.  Having met their sponsors a number of times now, Narupol and Pongsakorn were quite at ease, but still respectful and appreciative of their generosity.

A shopping treat from UK sponsors.

UK based sponsors Dan and Steve recently asked that we arrange a shopping trip for their sponsored student 12 year old ‘Palm’ and her two younger siblings.

 

So it was a trip to Tesco Lotus with Suky and then on to Svensons for an ice-cream treat. In Teco Lotus the kids were able to shop for whatever the wished (within the budget) and the children bought themselves clothes and shoes.

Birthday treat from student's Polish based sponsor

Suky picked up Suradetch from school and took him to Tesco Lotus for an ice cream treat and then into Tesco Lotus to choose some very nice clothes, thongs, a back pack and a football for himself - and then since there was some money left over, in true Thai style he chose  some Dunkin' Donuts to share with the family.

It seems that Dad has left /been told to leave, and since Suradetch's older sister is working steadily, Mum now stays home and takes care of the baby.  Suky said that she is calmer and more easy to deal with now, which is good to hear.

It also means that there is no 'lean' on the boy to choose things which Dad can readily convert to cash, so we're very glad to hear this. Poor kid, of all the things Walter has enabled, he wasn't able to keep anything, Dad having sold them for a fraction of their worth when he needed alcohol.

Let's hope this is a new beginning for him, he's such a sweet kid.
