Major Donation Day

Today was another great day of joy and happiness. I decided the safest way to handle the money entrusted to me was to make a larger donation to Sky-Blue school which is located just outside the dump. Many of the dump children go to this school. I will post photos of this wonderful day later. Around 12000 baht was donated today. Here is how it all broke down.

3900 baht for school supplies.
- notebooks
- pens,pencils
- crayons, coloured pencils
- 4 types of drawing, leaning books, totalling 29
- rulers 3 dozen
- stickers
- two small footballs
- erasers
- pencil sharpeners
- etc.
1000 baht for ice cream
3000 baht money donation to help repair toilet building
1100 baht for rice
- 1 large 45 kilo bag
1640 baht for matts, pillows etched
400 baht for transportations

Seeing the smiles and happiness of these children made it all worthwhile. Have had 2 great days in a row. With the previous donations I believe the total amount given out is around $700. That is not a ton of money but it has been a wonderful donation experiance none the less. To give the gift directly to the person your helping, to see their eyes, to touch their hand as you donate, is a fricking awesome experience, it is downright intoxicating.
