Who we are? Toys for Thailand is a voluntary grassroots team of educators and community members who have been providing tangible goods and services for orphaned, abandoned, and
refugee children living in remote villages of Thailand since 2005. Toys for Thailand is a project of the International Humanities Center, a 501 (c) 3 organization making donations tax deductible.Through an annual humanitarian trip to Thailand, volunteers deliver the basic tools and resources such as instructional supplies, vocational training equipment, food and toys to the schools and orphanages, which house the children.Toys for Thailand teams are making their fourth trip in as many years to Thailand, and in preparation hosted it's second annual fund-raiser Taste of Thailand on May 10, 2008 .
Update June 18, 2008: Our first team just arrived back from visiting Chiang Mai, Thailand (see picture update below) . Dr. Lise Flocken and her husband Rory Bolt and their children, Adam, Hunter and Tayah spent three days in Chiangmai. During their visit they purchased instructional and personal supplies for the children and they also hosted and served a special meal of chicken and papaya salad and fruit. The Wat Don Chan orphanage has now grown to 650 children. These children are among the world's most needy and neglected. Sasha Bilar, Maria Miller, Mollie and Hanley Smith will be visiting Wat Don Chan June 26-July 5, 2008. Their goal is to purchase beds for the boys dorms and fund additional toilets. Your financial support is greatly appreciated!
