Activities
Sponsor a child
The Thai Children’s Trust runs a program for Samaritans around the world to contribute £18 a month to sponsor a child at one of the residential programs it supports. There is also an opportunity to sponsor meals for Burmese migrant children, more than half of whom are clinically malnourished. The money collected from the sponsorship is meant for the lodging, education and food for the children. Some of the beneficiaries include Street children in Thailand who lead a life of poverty, living in slums or sleeping on the street, and are often exposed to dangers. The home provides a safe haven for the vulnerable children and a reliable way back into their life.
Besides through their own website, the Trust also uses other social media channels like Facebook and Twitter to create public awareness.
Fundraiser and Liaison
The trust arranges for individuals from around the world to volunteer at various organizations, helping those with HIV and AIDS, refugee children, street children, orphans and those with disabilities. They also organize fundraisers such as cake sales in order to raise as much money as possible to help the needy children in Thailand.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“I am admonished in many ways that time is pushing me inexorably along. I am approaching the threshold of age; in 1977 I shall be 142. This is no time to be flitting about the earth. I must cease from the activities proper to youth and begin to take on the dignities and gravities and inertia proper to that season of honorable senility which is on its way.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
“The old, subjective, stagnant, indolent and wretched life for woman has gone. She has as many resources as men, as many activities beckon her on. As large possibilities swell and inspire her heart.”
—Anna Julia Cooper (1859–1964)
