Helping disadvantaged children in Asia

Dear all

I don’t normally mix business with personal goals but this one is just too important to me and my youngest daughter Daisy (pictured above). On leaving school after A levels Daisy wanted to do something worthwhile on a gap year and I said ok and who knows where this might lead. So a few phone calls later to an old friend and Daisy was on a plane to Thailand to volunteer with Asia Center Foundation in Thailand. This charity does amazing work supporting and educating young vulnerable and deprived children in Asia.

Daisy is helping support these children using Art and Sport to build some self-esteem and confidence whilst also putting a bit of fun in their lives often for the very first time.

There are 2 sites both in Phuket one for local Thai children and the other working with displaced children who are in fact refugees from Burma/Myanmar. The charity has to pays its bills of course and has undertaken a bold project to build a new school building.

Wrapped up in our little bubble here in the developed world it might not seem that we can do much and I know that Children in Need is a big fund raiser in the UK right now…..BUT these children really need YOUR help.

I am appealing to the business community for help. We need to get this school built but if you can help with that directly we are also looking for a sponsor for the Art department. The school today urgently needs art supplies so perhaps you have a way of helping? It normally comes down to money as sending materials to Thailand is not cost effective.

The new school is also looking for computing equipment tablets, laptops and fixed PCs. Again logistics almost impossible of getting hardware delivered so all donations very welcome.

Please give anything you can for a very worthy cause.

Thank you and kind regards
