Kate’s Project Update

On Friday, 29th January, I went to my rendevous point at Kate’s Project, which is situated off Siam Country Club Road.  In one of the accompanying photos you can see me presenting to Khun Apple from Ban Rak Puan (the ladies AIDS home).  Their cooker badly needed to be replaced, and they asked me if we could replace this for them.  The money for this cooker was kindly authorised by Gillian Thom, our president, of which they where really truly thankful.  They also received their monthly shop, which I also do for them, and which includes mostly household cleaning items and some other things like soap, shampoo and mouthwash.

On a sadder note, the other photo shows Khun Somjit, who is a recipient of our monthly food bags, being very tenderly looked after by Roisin from Kate’s Project.  She has very little time left to live, and although she has a son and a sister, they both work long hours and cannot attend to her as needed.

Fortunately, Roisin is over on a visit and has been seeing to Khun Somjit, and between her and Khun Noi, also from Kate’s, they have been making her as comfortable as they can in her final days.  The PILC has helped also by giving her a mattress, and some of the other items where kindly donated by the Regent’s School Pattaya.  I had the pleasure of meeting this lady during the food drops and she was always very welcoming and glad to see us, and was never complaining even though she had only one leg and lived in a small shack off the new road.  So I was very saddened to hear this news.

If ever you have anything you can donate, should it only be your time, or perhaps need to ask about any of the welfare projects, please do not hesitate to contact me or any of the welfare team.
