Over New Years I'll be in Bangkok visiting a non-profit organisation called Courageous Kitchen, who work with the city's urban refugee communities by running a cooking class program for children. I'm fundraising for this initiative because it not only provides these children with a healthy meal but also empowers them with the opportunity to develop varied skills, from leadership to creativity.

As refugees in Thailand, these children have gone through significant hardship at a very young age, often living in poverty and malnutrition. Also with lack of access to education and safe shelter, they are at risk of exploitation. It has been established that children who are part of a close community and with high self esteem are much less likely to face exploitation.

So help provide a safe space where children can learn valuable skills, build confidence and above all leave having had a good meal!
