Attention new mums, soon-to-be mums, and mums of small children:

BAMBI (Bangkok Mothers & Babies International) is a fantastic organisation with over 700 members in Bangkok who aim to support Mums and expecting Mums from all nationalities while living here in Thailand.  They are now looking to expand to the Pattaya/Rayong area, due to popular demand.  They will be holding monthly new members & toddlers playgroup coffee mornings, along with offering pre- and post-natal support from qualified midwives at a twice monthly group meeting called Bumps and Babies.

If you live in the area and are interested in joining the BAMBI Pattaya Playgroup, please  contact Tamara Ryan, e-mail playgroups@bambiweb.org, or check their website at www.bambiweb.org for more information.

        PILC Ladies, if you could, please start saving ring pulls from your cans.  These are used by Dr. Therdchai at the Prosthesis Foundation in Chiang Mai to make artificial limbs. Dr. Therdchai fits on average four limbs a day, which equates to 1,500 limbs per year.

Please bring your ring pulls to the coffee mornings or lunches and place in the collection box to help this oh-so-worthy cause.  Thank you for your assistance.
