'Baan Huay Din Dum. Tambol Wangyao, Amphur Dan Chang, Thailand'.
Siam All Services Co., Ltd, Bangkok. www.siamallservices.com sponsored all costs for this fantastic project.
"A Big Thank You" to this great team of professionals who always keep our organisation accounts and legal matters squeaky clean and meeting the strict Thai Government regulations for registered charities in this amazing country.
Following the directions of a GPS - We followed the shortest route which took us over a jungle track and over a high mountain pass. This track is only meant for 4x4 vehicles, so the vans had to divert and travel an extra couple of hours to arrive at the school location about two hours later than planned. The two private cars somehow managed to get over the pass, but were both damaged in the process...Eddie's 4x4 had no such problem as it's made for this sort of work and is often used when traversing wild mountain tracks on our visits to the remote refugee camps around the Thai/Burma border.
The children displayed their great skill as stilt-walkers while they were waiting for the minivans to arrive. For those of our group who also had time to wait...We were treated to a very simple but nourishing meal of local soup and fruit that was offered by the teachers and gratefully received by us following our eventful journey.
All very exciting for the children and their teachers!
Once everyone eventually arrived and unloaded the tons of goods and show props that we brought from Bangkok. The children, teachers, sponsors and some local hill-tribe people were treated to a very funny performance by Clown Eckie and then given ice-cream before the end of their school day.
The many donations of food, clothing, educational equipment and toys came from individual families in Bangkok, some social groups, International schools and Siam All Services Co., Ltd, Bangkok.
