It’s with great sadness that I pass on the news I received late on Sunday evening 8th November 2020 that Miss N had passed away on the previous Friday. She had become ill a few days before and was taken to hospital, where sadly she didn’t get better from her stomach bug. Miss N was not a…
It is with sadness I share that, due to new rules, the government has decided that the orphanages must restrict the children’s going out and visitors coming in for the next three months to make strong efforts to protect them from the Covid 19 virus, due to the vulnerable nature of many of the children’s…
Mr C had ten days in the new orphanage where the staff on the sick ward had quickly warmed to him. He was on the sick ward because he was tube fed and regularly needed suction. He was known to have an animated and happy personality and was quite easy to care for while he…
Those of you who follow our work consistently will have seen a lapse in our content on this page over the last nine months.

This year we didn’t do the annual Disney on Ice trip for 12 children, because the cost of the disability seating has been restricted to the higher ticket prices. It was a shame and clear that the children love it, because when the advert came on the TV many would look at me when I…
Liz was one of the Huahin holiday volunteers and she supported Mr G on the holiday last August. See HUAHIN HOLIDAY 2018 for details. As a teacher, her school break comes right in the middle of the hot season in Thailand, but even so, she was still keen to return and help for that time….
Thailand is experiencing a really, really hot season this year, which is that bit harder to bear as for the last two years I’ve been in the UK at this time.
