To The Sea
It is not easy to find the words to express the admiration I have for the children we care for.
Without fail they put all their effort into every activity we do.
Without fail they put all their effort into every activity we do.
With few complaints they do their bit, doing their own laundry, helping to keep the house tidy and helping the House Mother in the kitchen.
Most weekends they work hard in the garden when asked to.
Whenever we go on trips out their behaviour is exemplary.
Every week night they study to improve their education and every weekend they do 1-2 hours English language.
Very rarely do they ask for anything and when our budget is tight you hear no moaning if we can't take a trip out or their pocket money is short.
They have given such special reason to my life that I would desperately like to repay them for their efforts.
Ok, they already get local trips out most months and occasional meal out, but they have never had a real holiday.
Not whilst they have been here and indeed never in their lives have any of the children experienced what you would call a "Holiday".
I know that none of our children have ever seen the sea and I would very much like to give them that opportunity.
To run free on the beach, jump into the ocean, smell the fresh sea air,things most of us have done many times in our lives.
My hope is to take them for 3 or 4 nights to somewhere like Koh Lanta in Krabi. With our basic running costs budget so tight it feels like a distant dream, with the likely cost for the trip;( transport, accommodation, food, additional staff to ensure safety); likely to run in the region of £900 / $1380 US / 40,000 baht
But following the old adage "you can only ask" I will do just that here, in the hope that some generous soul may see this and want to help to give these children that unforgettable experience.
