We are Proactive in Helping Ourselves
Cards, bookmarks & posters
We believe it is important to help ourselves as much as possible. Since we have experienced difficulties with the sponsorship program over the years such as irregular payments, economic difficulties and inconsistency of sponsors, we are now relying heavily on selling hand-made products by the children such as cards, bookmarks and posters. We suggest the following donations for each:
Cards: 30 baht Bookmarks: 40 baht A4 Posters: 80 baht
100% of the profits go towards school fees of the children, as well as the hospital bills. Also, the children are given an allowance for each card they draw, which they can spend as they wish.
Please browse through the childen’s art gallery and check out some of these products. If you would like to place an order of any of these products contact Dada for details.
Update on sales…
Card and bookmark sales for 2008 reached a staggering 76,688 Baht which paid for school fees, uniforms and notebooks. To those who bought and sold cards and bookmarks we would like to thank you:
Chris & Ninya, Julie Gardner, Flu, Gaelin, Alexandra, Dada, Marni, Julie and the Go Mad group.
Weaving Products
We are now employing one woman to weave products to raise money for our home. In exchange for a monthly reliable salary, this woman makes bags, scarves, blankets, and traditional Karen clothing for us to sell through volunteers and our website. If you are interested in purchasing any of these products, or know someone who would be able to sell them through a local store in your community let us know!
Thank you!
Check back soon for pictures of the weaving products.
