Todays post is just to say that life is good. Our Foundation Project, The Stratton ABC Foundation is going well and we now take care of 9 children from disadvantaged backgrounds, all from Northern Thai Provinces.

Today I visited nearby Sarapee, to watch a Parade involving two of our children who attend Mattayom 1 and 2 in Sarapee.

Its a sad reflection of todays society that parents around the world have little time to attend such events and I feel blessed that it is my job to make the time to do so. many children do not understand the constraints put on their parents, by modern day living. I’ m sure, like myself, you can remember the good feeling whenever your parents turned up to see you take part in something; sports day, a school play maybe. That feeling that they wanted to give up their time for you, to take pride in what you were doing.

At long last all is in order for our Foundation project to go ahead and yesterday we secured the rental property for the first Childrens home.

Also a big thanks to Helen Williams as our first contributor.
