Feb 042010

Its that time of year again where love is in the air.

Take a moment to consider the origins of Valentines Day.

Before the day was high-jacked for lovers, it was originally meant for

close and trusted friends and companions.

So why not send a card to all your loved ones on this special day.

Even better, purchase your cards from The Stratton ABC Foundation online shop.

You will find a lovely collection of designs produced by the children at Stratton House Childrens Home, Chiang Mai.

They very much need your support so make both them and your closest friends happy and order today.

A Friendly Hint Brings Back Daily Updates

10th Nov

Sometimes it just needs a little prompt of a helpful friend and solutions to your problems are found. having no home phone line, I have been wrestling with the problem of how to keep my website properly updated on a daily basis.
ally Today,( thursday-10th dec), I went for lunch with my friend Ally and then onto a wireless cafe where Ally kindly gave me first instructions on how to operate the on line shop that she has set up for my Foundation website.
During our discussions she also came up with the perfect solution for my updating.
And as in most cases it is such a simple solution that I kick myself for not thinking of it.
Using word pad, I will from now on attempt to get back to daily blog entries. It will mean that the blog will tend to be back-dated; the plan being to do them live at home, save and then copy , paste and add photos on the occasions when I get into the internet shop. Happy days:)
draw (Custom) The children at Stratton House have been home all day as schools are closed for the next 4 days; not sure why except that today is apparently Democracy Day. They have been kept busy with yet more art classes from Boon.
They have been as excited as me about the online shop and keen to do their bit to produce products for the shop that will hopefully raise funds for The Stratton ABC Foundation to fulfil its mission.

Because You Care..Seasonal Greetings From Stratton House

Dec 092009

Its that time of year again, and although I’ve always been a bit of a Christmas humbug, not being a Christian, and being far more into the idea of people gift giving when they want to and not when they feel they have to, I’m now running a Childrens home and I do appreciate the fun the festivities can give to them.

DSCF5125 As art and craft is already a popular activity at Stratton House we decided to give the kids a chance to produce some homemade Christmas cards.

This has proved such a popular pass time and produced some great results that have convinced us to try our hand at producing both seasonal and general greetings cards, postcards, etc.

DSCF5120 These products will soon be available in our, soon to open, online shop, under the heading ‘Because You Care’. All profits will go in to The Stratton ABC Foundation general fund and go towards helping us to give disadvantaged kids from in and around Chiang Mai and Lamphun A Better Chance.

For anyone who may own a business in or around Chiang Mai or Lamphun and feel that their premises may be a suitable location for one of our collection boxes, please contact me ,(John), using the contact link at the bottom of the page.
