A very special thank you...

Last year, my niece Bronwynne (Jayne's daughter) went to Thailand when she was nineteen to volunteer at the Baan Dada Children's Home. Her plan was to stay for three months, but she ended up staying for nine. She returned to Canada to work for a year and is now back in Thailand attending the university in Bangkok. Every chance she gets, she goes to spend time with the children.
Recently, the call went out for help in funding rabies vaccine for everyone, including Bronnie. My neighbours pitched in and we transferred funds to the home via their website and paypal.
For a year now, I've been buying clothes at the thrift store and sending boxes of them to Baan Dada. The shipping costs of fifty to eighty dollars is more than the clothes are worth, but I feel as though every penny I spend is helping the children.
Tonight, Bronnie sent photos of a thank you card from the children to me. I feel so grateful to be able to help out in such a small way and the children's smiles mean the world to me. You can read more about Baan Dada here...
