Help from the Lady Boys of Bangkok UK touring show.

We would like to thank the Lady boys of Bangkok UK touring show for raising another £2004 with the Retiring Collections from their shows. Our thanks go to the entire crew of the shows for their continued support which is helping make a big difference to the kids we are helping.
 

We were asked by the MERCY Home is we could help with a few sets of wooden drawers for the kids to keep their clothes and personal belonging in, from the money received from the Lady boys' shows this morning we will now be supplying all 30 children at the home with their personal set of drawers at a cost of a little under £1000.
 
This latest donation from the audiences of the shows bring the total raised at the shows this year to an amazing £13,307.78.

Kids helping Kids

Kids of the Brockham Church Youth Group in Brockham Surrey recently collected £250 to buy equipment for the kids at the MERCY Home, Pattaya.



The kids asked for a set of drums and
we posted the photos of the drums a a few days ago, with the balance of the money we have been able to buy two bikes so that now all of the kids have a bike of their own.



Here are a couple pictures of the kids with their new bikes. We also purchased a pump and 2 sets of training wheels. They were so excited to get these bikes. Then it rained for 2 days straight and they had to wait to ride them but whenever they can play outside they run right to the bikes

UK sponsor's visit to Pattaya


Chinawat, Ray and Taksin

Despite torrential rain in Pattaya visiting UK sponsor Ray managed to meet with his two sponsored students, brothers Chinawat and Taksin for a lunch and shopping trip.




Ray has been sponsoring the boys for six years and always meet with the brothers when he visits. On this visit Ray and the boys were accompanied by Suky and Boonying of MERCY Pattaya for the inevitable lunch in KFC.

Drum set for the kids of MERCY HOME Pattaya

Our thanks go to the Brockham Church youth Group in the village of Brockham Surrey whose members recently donated £250 to be used to purchase equipment for the kids at the MERCY Children's home, Pattaya.

Some of the money has been used to purchase a set of drums that the children asked for and the remainder will be used to buy two bikes so that every child has their own.

The bikes are particularly appropriate as the road cycle race in this year's Olympic Games was held at Box Hill and the route took in the village of Brockham.

An update on a student's home

Just a quick update on the mum of this student.

 Clearly she was delighted to receive the monthly food allowance, and Suky said that she is beginning to speak a little in answer to her questions after she has been virtually catatonic since witnessing her parents being shot 9 years ago  Unfortunately, the home is looking even more dilapidated, with the wooden supports at the front looking even more rickety than when we first checked on the place.  


They're in need of a number of things, as you can see, both in terms of actual repairs to the structure itself and individual items. The rice cooker is still in use, but is rusting, and one of the stay hot pots is looking decidedly suspect.  I don't think I'd feel inclined to drink out of it. The mosquito nets need replacing and the fan was broken. There is little in the way of closets/cupboards for the clothes, or other furniture.


W do hope that when we've finished the other houses we have 'in hand', we will be able to do something here, too.
