Our silent auction
will give you the opportunity to
purchase merchandise
and services donated by local businesses. Arrive
early to buy a limited supply of exquisite handbags, Karen silver and
handicrafts imported from Thailand.
Your dollar goes a long, long way in Thailand. $1.25
buys 50 long stem
orchids ($250 in the USA?) A recent FERC Give and Live Benefits event in
Chiangmai raised about $4,000, enough funds to give food, lodging,
medical expenses and school fees/supplies for the 26 children at
Children’s Garden, a
home for orphans...for a year. That’s only $12 per day! $3,000 builds an
entire school dormitory. Every CD and t-shirt sold buys a mattress for a child to
sleep on every night. The rest of the money donated will change lives in
many ways.
Give and Live, a registered nonprofit in Minnesota, partners with
FERC (Foundation for the Education of Rural Children), a registered nonprofit
organization in the USA and Thailand, and with the Dutch nonprofit
Samsara Foundation to raise funds, present events, build schools and
dormitories, and provide learning materials, scholarships, and necessary
living expenses for needy children in Thailand.
