Donations from Rainy Lam
Our long term
friend and supporter, Rainy Lam from Hong Kong,
donated a whole load of soft toys for the children at the Kuraburi Nursery and
Learning center this week. Rainy has
been an avid donor, since sponsoring the education of one of the children;
sending gifts and educational toys for all the children. She has helped them understand origami (paper
folding) and you will find little paper flowers and birds made by the children all
over the place.
If you have
unwanted toys or games we can always use them for our schools and orphanage
programs; please get in touch for details on where to send.

Life’s a Clean Beach
UK Family Supports Environmental Effort
Andaman Discoveries and the village of Ban Talae Nok are extremely grateful to the Hannah Family (UK). Shortly after their recent village homestay, this benevolent family of four donated 10,000 Thai Baht (about $290) to the Ban Talae Nok Youth Group to support a regular beach clean-up effort. “We had such a fab stay at the village and thoroughly enjoyed the relatively unspoilt beauty of the coast there. We believe it would be a good thing, for everybody, if the beach was kept free of rubbish,” said Susan Hannah.Every two months the youth – armed with gloves and trash bags – will work their way down the beach picking up shoes, bottles, and plastic. The funding will also supply them with drinks and snacks. “Through just a little effort a few times a year, Ban Talae Nok will keep its stunning beach,” added Susan Hannah. “The Hannah family’s generosity reinforces the importance of keeping our beach clean and litter free,” noted an appreciative Ladda “Pink” Aharn, community coordinator in Ban Talae Nok.
