On Thursday 25th September, a special dinner and evening of entertainment with Elvis was held at the Jomtien Boathouse Restaurant, Jomtien Beach Road. A wonderful dinner was served by the Boathouse Restaurant staff and organized by Khun Kannika. A slide show of the projects in Mae Sot was presented along with a presentation by Bronwyn, Kylie and Rosanne. On this evening 150,000 Baht was raised for the WWM education programs in the Thai / Burma Border Camps. All proceeds from the evening will go to support the welfare and educational needs of refuge Myanmar children living in camps on the Thailand border.
A special thank you goes to our Sponsors for the evening DHL and a special friend Chitra for her generous donation. Also sincere thanks for the wonderful auction and raffle items donated by Ursula Antiques, Kalae, Arlette Cykman, Nancy Srikumpol, Patricia Foulstone, Indian by Nature Restaurant, La Luna Restaurant, Café New Orleans, Boathouse Restaurant, Residence Inn Restaurant.
Women with a Mission (WWM) is a private group of women who work to organise help for people who need it most. We are currently working to help provide educational supplies (such as a photocopier which will enable to copying of text books for distribution to 54 community schools) to benefit some of the thousands of Burmese children living in the camps along the Thailand/Myanmar border (previously Burma). We are also trying to raise money to supply the children with food, clothing and medical supplies. These children have been displaced by both political uncertainty and more recently a natural disaster, namely the devastating Cyclone Nagis, which left thousands of children orphaned.
