We are happy to share more good news with you.  The HERROD FOUNDATION of Montreux, Switzerland accepted our funding application and has agreed to support our DAY CARE CENTER which will be based in our Moo Baan/Arco Village. 

We would like to thank the Herrod Foundation and Mr. Sparla in particular for having agreed to help us, the smaller children in our project and their families.  As usual we can just promise we will do our best to repay the trust given to us and, most important, to help these poor deknoi.

The project started officially Monday October 5^th,  after the application we submitted to the government office in Surin was accepted.

We have two “mothers”, Lon and Pa Tongsee, and already 16 children, 4 more than we initially planned for.  In the budget, we indicated a maximum number of 12 children, but once again we couldn’t say no to these families.  

We hope we won’t have any additional applications, otherwise we may have to start thinking about SOONDEK SAINAM 2.
