Countdown to Christmas Charity Carnival 2015!!
Countdown! Just two days to our Christmas Charity Carnival 2015 this Sunday ! It was an ‘ALL-Hands-on Deck’ day where everyone pitched in (with such a large yard, we had THREE people just sweeping & clearing piles! -Thanks Kenji, Sunny Frost and Steven) Thanks Peter who was out picking up chicken from GOLDEN FOODS SIAM and Fruit juice drinks from MALEE ENTERPRISE
Along with participating sponsors, we set out to transform our garden into a Christmas Wonderland for some 80 children and teens, not including volunteers and guests who will be attending this event this Sunday! With this being the last working day, the first company drove up at 9.30 — TWO Truckloads of wood and equipment plus 10 workers from MODISH who set out to build the professional stage. The carpeted stage annually comes with a beautiful backdrop! Right on their heels was a truck with three electricians from BOUYGUES-THAI who eventually spent the rest of their day with us, putting up spotlights, decorative fairy lights, extensions all over the garden (it was a thrill to see the garden all lit up bright and colorful tonight!!) . While all this was going on, our dear Jack-of-all-tradesman, David Ak. came to help with traimming the bushes, repotting plants, fixing the flying fox and just pitching in with whatever needed to be done! U-RENT came soon after with all the 100 chairs and 15 tables we will need for the event. As I just finished with them, a couple more men came in from BUG SOLUTIONS and said they were ready to FOG the garden! We’re making sure that since our whole activity will be in the garden on Sunday evening, this fogging will ensure that every single mozzie will pack up and leave today. CHOMTHANA (Cremo) also delivered their contribution of icecream and salapaos today, along with OISHI who have so kindly helped with their food warmers. BALLOON ART2GO sent their despatch rider all the way from Phayathai to deliver a box of 600 balloons for twisting and games —awfully generous! Finally, we also received a despatch from the downtown GIORDARNO head office, with their generous Cash vouchers for our lucky draw. You don’t want to miss that! Right after the last despatch, we had to rush to COLOURFUL INK-JET who did a fantastic job printing out the giant banners & parking signs for our event! Made it back for dinner and ended the day with a major gift-wrapping session — Consider figuring out age. gender -appropriate gifts for 75 kids and teens!
Well, all this work is not for nothing — we can’t wait to see the kids’ faces and feel their happy hearts when they walk into the Carnival wonderland, thoroughly enjoy themselves and go home with a gift and the sweetest memories….Come Sunday and join us for this fulfilling experience . There’s gonna be alot of bonding over food, fun, zumba and performances with the kids and teens from the Emergency Home, the Home of Rest and the Thanksgiving Home!!
