And, once again, the Christmas season is upon us.  I will spare you my usual “rant” about how absurd this festivity has become, completely losing its spiritual meaning in favor of a mindless “shopping spree.” Which, might I add, is even more unjustified in times of a supposed crisis like ours.  I’ll just stop myself there.  

Our idea to celebrate this Christmas is a small symbolic gift, at a very cheap price.  Only € 3.00 or SFr. 5.00.  What am I talking about? It is a small silk bag prepared by our SaoKae which contains some rice, coming directly from our fields. Nothing more, nothing less.

All of the proceeds from this sale will be used for the neediest families in our CARE PROGRAM which, I remind you, are receiving much needed food supplement and medical care from Sainam.

Since I am in Thailand right now, but will be back in Europe shortly before Chirstmas, I may be able to bring some of them with me.  In case someone might be interested in giving an alternative Christmas gift to his dear ones, please contact me at:
