| Help help
an Orphanage |
On 27
November 2008 (US Thanksgiving Day) I will be paying
my second visit a small orphanage mission center in
Thailand. The MERCY Center. Part of the
mission is to bring over a complete Thanksgiving
dinner for the kids from the US, including two whole
turkeys.
It is shelter currently housing about 25 children ranging in age
from 18 months to early teens. In addition
to caring for orphan and "at risk" children the mission provides basic food,
milk and clothes as well as medical care for a
number of children in the slum. Beyond that, the
mission helps with simple scholarships sponsored by
donors and single parent support. |
Like my
last trip on 03 September 2008 the goal is to raise
as much money as I can and personally go to the
markets and buy the food and other supplies needed.
Last time $1100 was raised and it fill up a pickup
truck with food, diapers and other essential supply
one and a half times.
Read the trip report for the previous trip here:
Orphan Kids -
Report 3-4 September 2008. |
| If you
are interested in supporting this effort with me, I
will be collecting money for the mission and
I will personally match every dollar donated, up
to $300. In the case of this mission even a
small donation of just a few dollars can make a difference. Please refer to the end of this message
for details in how to donate. |
| This
orphanage is not looking for cash donations and much
prefer food, milk, diapers and other goods. I will
personally go to the local market and buy the food.
Fresh fruit is the best treat
you can bring, so that obviously will be on the
shopping list too. |
|
Remember, all donations through me will be in form of
food, milk, etc. that I will purchase and deliver,
so 100% of funds collected goes to the children. |
When I
return home from the trip I will write a report
detailing my visit and share it with you on this
site - just like
last time.
I believe that some genuine feedback is the least
you can expect from your contribution. |
If you
like to contribute I will be most grateful to accept
it and forward your kindness to the children.
Obviously the
purpose of this mission is to collect as much money
as possible for the children who need your help so
much, however, the spirit is that every little bit
counts.
Collectively we can
make a big difference. |

One
last time, I am not looking for large contributions,
but rather a large number of small contributions.
The mission is not to solve the worlds problems, but
simply to take a little gratitude and pride in
helping this small mission,
When was the last time you got a thrill out of
spending just a couple of bucks? |
