Hello Barry, You have Paypal? I didnt think it was available to Thailand..For some reason

Gives me an idea, I could auction something off on ebay and send the proceeds to you?
What percentage do paypal charge to recieve money?

Could send cash over, Done it before but its a bit risky

Just a small update on this topic:

Aussie Mark came into our Hua Hin office/restaurant a few weeks ago and made a generous cash donation to Mercy House on his own behalf and for Oz Uncle.

Georgy also called to our marina and left a donation, as did Michel.

Many thanks to you all from the kids.

Together with Buksi's computer rebuilding initiative, we are making a difference.

Let's please keep it going.

Good PR and charity work like this done by farangs should get some coverage. I hope one or more of your local hard copy publications has or will write this up. A photo of the presentation of the computer(s) and donations would be good also. If you look at the Pattaya papers they publish things like this almost weekly. Pete

Anyone know what happened to the Tesco collection box idea??

Hi Barry,

My wife opened a small shop in soi 94 and we would be more than willing to sell any art work or items made by the children. Please let me know if this could be arranged.

Hi beachyhead

Great idea - maybe you could phone me and let me know exactly where the shop is and we'll call into you in Soi 94 when we're heading into town one day.

If I remember the aim was 100,000 Baht or above, with 84 already collected at that time.
Does anyone know the recent figure?

Just back home now, paid a visit to Mercy House, lovely kids, well run and really tugs at the heart strings.
Young artist with no hands is amazing, if you can go and see.
23 kids at the moment.
