Christmas came early when "Santa" Fe brought us loads of gifts last week!
"A fantastic day for our charity!"
We were so happy to receive TWO truck loads of great donations from Santa Fe relocation's to our sorting rooms and charity shop last Friday. They had collected so much for us, that we couldn't get all of it through the door.
We managed to sell all the large furniture, a fridge, washing machine and even a hand carved wooden shrine type giant bird cage from outside the shop front within a couple of hours of taking delivery. Then we only had to deal with a ton of clothing, books, an imported barbecue, household goods and even musical instruments.

All these goods came from Santa Fe's customers who have moved into or out-of Bangkok recently. We thank them all for being so kind as to send so much to us via Santa Fe. It's all very much appreciated.
"Except for a couple of Barbecue's and some violins" - We have already sold all the goods that were not suitable to pass-onto the needy people that we serve every month in rural Thailand. And we still have enough goods left over to fill our two volunteer trucks ready for our next big aid giving project to Mae Sot, N. Thailand on 26th to 29th August 2013.
The money raised through our charity shop in the last couple of weeks will be a great help to part fund the next big project and so far we plan to visit seven migrant schools and Mae Tao Clinic.
We need toothpaste, toiletries and used clothing for 1,000 kids next week...There's still time for you to drop-off goods like this for us to take to them. Just send the contact form on each page telling us what you can give and we will do, our best to make sure it gets to those people who really need it.
Meantime, stay tuned to our regular news reports here and be sure to visit our charity shop for details of drop-off times and our latest offers (for those BBQ's & Violins) page as well.
