Baan Unrak Flood Relief Campaign


The children of Sangkhlaburi held performances this weekend to raise money for the flood victims throughout Thailand. We are so proud of the Baan Unrak kids for their hard work and their desire to share what they do have with those in crisis. They raised over 20,000 Baht!

With the funds we have been raising, the children's organizations in Sangkhlaburi will join together to bring relief and recovery supplies directly to the flood victims in need.

If you would like to aid in our recovery efforts please donate through our website: http://www.baanunrak.org/DonataPP.html.

The weekend's campaign included: a children's parade of poi twirlers and local school marching bands; traditional and modern dance performances; performances by the Baan Unrak yoga troupe; rock performances from the Baan Dada Children's Home; and the children manned tables selling sweet drinks and donations as a fund raising effort for relief supplies.

Enjoy some of my favorite snapshots from the weekend!
