“It’s not how much we give, but how much love we put into giving.” Mother Teresa
GSV Team's very first charity trip for 2020
Good Spirit Volunteers (GSV) Team treated lunch to the sweet children of Children’s Village School Moo Baan Dek, Kanchanaburi.
Moo Baan Dek is a project under the Foundation for Children, a registered non-profit Thai organization.
Children here are provided with free education and accommodation. The costs are entirely covered by donations - 80-90% of which come from within Thailand, whereas funds for specific projects or buildings come primarily from overseas. Donors include organizations such as UNESCO, Partage Foundation (France), CCFD (France), as well as Thai residents in Europe and America.
However, due to the lukewarm atmosphere of the Thai economy, the amount of donations have been dwindling and hence it is getting harder to rely solely on donations.
Therefore, the school seeks other ways of monetary support by selling the vegetables grown from the farm, or artwork from the batik, weaving, and woodwork workshops to visitors.
