Computers for Thai Kids Charity Project serves up 200 hot dogs

Computers for Thai Kids Charity Project serves up 200 hot dogs

Lek of the Computers for Thai Kids Charity Project, her sister Noi, a school friend, and a generous donor named Sukanya, cooked and served 200 hot dogs with all the fixins for the children of the Redemptorist Street Kids Home on September 23.

Lek sells sandwiches and hot dogs on the Monday Hash House Harriers runs and at the PSC Sunday softball games to help raise funds for the Computers For Thai Kids Charity Project. She and friends decided that this time it would be a good change of pace to provide hot dogs for the Street Kids. They also left hot dogs for the kids who weren’t present so they could enjoy the meal after returning from school.

Don’t be shy, step right up and get your hot dogs here! Lek, now an accomplished hot dog chef, serves up some delicious hot dogs for the kids at the Redemptorist Street Kids Home.

Since its inception in 1998, The Computers For Thai Kids Charity Project has sent out more than 390 computers to schools all over Thailand, have given computer instruction to hundreds of poor Thai kids here in Pattaya, and are sponsoring 82 deserving kids in government schools.

When funds are available, the kids coming for computer instruction are also fed a nutritious meal after their classes. For some, this is the only meal they receive each day.

Wow, this is gooooooood. Lek of the Computers for Thai Kids Charity Project, her sister Noi, a school friend, and a generous donor named Sukanya, cooked and served 200 hot dogs with all the fixins for the children of the Redemptorist Street Kids Home on September 23.

Jeep and Lek need all the help they can get to run this project and have requests for thousands of computers from hundreds of schools throughout Thailand. If you have any working computer equipment in the Pentium class and above that you have upgraded or can spare, this is the place to donate it, as they do get out to the neediest areas and this charity project is strictly volunteer with no one on any payroll or receiving any remuneration for their efforts. All the computers must come from inside Thailand since Thai Customs procedures precludes importing donated computers from abroad.

The project can also use funds to repair donated computers, feed the kids, and to help support the most needy to stay in school.

If you are able to assist Jeep and Lek in their worthwhile endeavor, please contact: Glenn “Jeep” Holthaus or Jaruay “Lek” Kingjorhor at [email protected] phone: 038-424-998 or visit their website for more info on their Computers For Thai Kids Charity Project: http://jeep.htmlplanet.com/
