From the first story we ran
about her when she was just 11 years old back in December 2007.
Editor;
I just thought you like to know I read your article on
Sarocha Chompoo <http://pattayamail.com/875/news.shtml#hd11> and have made
contact with her and her father. At that time she was very close to dying of
poor health with no future. Her health is now very good and she passed
school this year for her first time in her life.
I have her living with a friend of hers so now she has a
real family where it is safe to sleep, and she gets food, schooling and
medicine. She is a very happy young lady with a future thanks to Pattaya
Mail taking the time to write about her.
