There are some good places and organizations that help children get educated and skilled in order to stay off the streets. One in particular I am involved with.
PHBGTU | Index |

^Looks great, cheers!

That doll was likely taken from her then taken home by some cop who handed it to their daughter.

Toy shopping.



I chose this one:

Thought these would be more up ypur street bud

I'll take the top two for 2 hours, cheers.

And the bottom one will take you for two hours

That was then. 55*f on 1/21/18 at 1630hrs.

This is now. 29*f 0700hrs on 1/22/18. Fifteen hours later.

Now that I live in Myanmar, there are many deserving kids who need a basic education, which is where my own charity work comes in. I gave up offering to work for the big charities, I'm neither black, lesbian, young or disabled, which means that I'm unlikely to get to any job interview...

So I started doing hands-on, educational charity work myself, which results in a lot more value-for-money than what the big charities achieve. I'm actually quite surprised at what I have achieved last year with only a few hundred $.

Good work Simon.

Often thought about doing something similar myself in the future.

Doesn't take a lot of money either.

The problem with these larger charities is most of the money goes on administration costs etc etc

...not to mention the cost of advertising all the good work they're up to in order to solicit even more funds from the unsuspecting public...

Street food is a big draw for tourists visiting Thailand, or is it really?

Didn't fancy moo grata anyway.

We could post photos of that scenario in different locations a hundred times.......


















couldn't we?

Your holiday snaps are fuckin shockin Pat

This 1,000 times and more. I got involved because I was enjoying riding my dirt-bike through the Shan hills at the weekend, then just turning round at my destination and riding back again. So to 'justify' these trips, I started doing something at the destination, and that doing something was to donate school books to an orphanage.

The more that I did this, the more I understood better the exact educational needs of the kids, which meant that I could target my expenditure on the right sort of school supplies for each group of kids, rather than 'chucking mud at the wall and hoping some would stick'.

Then I found out about another orphanage, then another, then another...... which was a good reason to ride my dirt-bike into other remote areas.

Bugger, I need to add a photo:



This is high above Inle Lake - there is great off-road riding in that region (that plastic box is full of school books for an orphanage in Kalaw...)

...fresh cut flowers brighten the home...

I feel emotionally uplifted then the beer is placed in the fridge ...

BTW ... I'll pop round to sort him 'the savage' out .
