Starting mid-March, the girls have two months off due to the summer holidays here in Thailand. What will the girls do during that time? Some are able to go on a family visit and we always have a home camp for one or two weeks. They also have the opportunity to just do nothing or read books, play games, watch tv or go swimming. However, we always try to go away with them for three days or so, to take a break, have a short holiday. A couple of years ago we were even able to take them to the beach down south. Last year they went to the neighboring province of Chiang Mai and this year we would like to take them to a nearby province as well. We have almost finished planning the details and we are really looking forward to the trip. Of course, there are costs involved as our group consists of about 40 people.

The estimated costs are $ 1500

Will you help us provide an unforgettable holiday for the girls?

As you probably know we have three rooms for independent living with kitchen and living room on our premises. The two girls who are now living there love to watch tv after a day of school or traineeship. I guess most of you enjoy doing that as well. The tv they have now is one of those big ones, remember them? With a small square screen and wide on all sides. This tv still needs antennas in order to receive channels, but as it no longer works the girls now have to do without.

A new television costs about $ 280

Would you like to contribute to this project?

The older girls who are learning to live independently have to do their own laundry of course. However, at the moment they have no washing machine and so they wash small items by hand and large things such as bed linen at the family homes. Small or big loads, it would be lovely for the girls if they had their own washing machine and so could be really independent.

A washing machine costs about $ 440
