It’s been a ‘grim’ dreadful  time.  Even for the stray cats & mangy slum dogs.: not so easy to scrounge. Less eatable garbage.  

Our kids being mostly on the street; not many homes with television sets, not much at home to eat, not many homes with ice -boxes,  missing lots of meals,  often hungry, has not helped make it through each new day.  But our kids are resourceful:  that happens when you are hungry day after day, you quickly learned the art of slum trash survival:  different price for used plastic bottles, empty beer bottles, paper of all sorts.  Whatever the junk man will buy, plus you learn to read his scales, so he doesn’t try to fool you on the weight.   

With your little help for the children
The items that need support for Mercy Children, Preschools, people who have been suffered from COVID -19 pandemic and other projects in March 2021:

We are incredibly proud of five of our Mercy children that graduated from Pramahataisuksa School. They plan to continue their studies at university and they have dreams and aspirations that they are striving towards. We would like to wish them the best in their future endeavours and encourage them to overcome obstacles with grit, determination and positivity.  This would not have been possible without the generous support from our friends and supporters who showed an unwavering faith and belief in these fine, young graduates. Your support continues to be essential for these graduates as they move forward to another chapter in their lives.   

We are safe, healthy & happy. True, our kindergartens are closed the month of January.  But Government asks us to feed our 2,000 kindergarten slum kids in our 22 slum schools/kitchens & we feed them well.  All of them are gaining weight and growing like weeds (as they are supposed to do.)  We clean & clean, & wear masks & wash & wash & employ our 300 elderly folks in the slum kitchens cook & wash the pots & pans & go the fresh market, and IF food is left over, take it home, so nothing is wasted.  I repeat nothing is wasted. I sincerely wish all of you could come and help cook food for our kids. 

This weekend we are grateful to receive the first 2 of 9 laptops they will be donating to the children.
