In celebration of its 60th Anniversary, BUPA organised an international charity challenge for 60 employees at Sarnelli House Orphanage in Northern Thailand in Dec 2007.

The objective of the project iwas to help the orphanage in its quest to raise awareness of the problems of HIV and AIDS in Thailand, whilst bettering the lives of the children living there by building new facilities over a six week period. Community Connections plans to develop a sustainable relationship with the orphanage and encourage a stronger relationship with its BUPA business in Thailand.

The challenge was part funded by BUPA Community Connections, as well as fund raising activities by the volunteers.

After returning from Sarnelli my life changed completely and I wake up each day thinking about the children and my new found friends. I am planning to return in Dec 09 with my son and friends to paint and restore some more of the orphanage and hopefully reunite with friends.

I know you all supported me last year but am asking again if not cash maybe a raffle gift for my planned fund raising raffles.I  thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Pattaya Orphanage Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.   Karen
