One Mile One Dollar
A Fundraiser for The Baan San Fan Orphanage in Phang Nga, Thailand.
On December 26th, 2004 an earthquake off the west-coast of the Indonesian island of Sumatra created a massive tsunami wave which caused huge devastation in several countries, including Thailand. The Phang Nga province was worst hit and many thousands of people were killed, leaving behind several hundred orphans. Thai husband and wife Sam and Gai came to the area to help and ran a tent looking after a group of children. A Swiss gentleman was inspired by the couple and offered to buy them land in the local village of Bang Wan. In October 2005 Baan San Fan opened its doors to 8 children. Baan San Fan has a capacity of 40 but a lack of financial support means they are only able to care for 12 children at the present time. The tsunami has long since passed but Thailand is very poor and hundreds of children in Phang Nga still desperately need care and protection from the drug and prostitution trades that blight the poverty-stricken people of the region.
Help Us Raise $8,853 for the 8,853 Miles we will be traveling.
On March 11th, 2012 Elena and Autumn will be traveling to Thailand. We will be staying at the orphanage for 3-4 days volunteering and getting to know each child. The money raised will be used to buy food, clothing, and books for these suffering children. The orphanage is also in need of a roof repair, water filter, and fence.
