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 just returned from 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 .
During our trip in June 2008 our Toys for Thailand volunteers (two teams) assistsed the Wat Don Chan (WDC) orphanage in Chiangami. WDC houses 650 hill tribe children who are among the world's most needy and neglected. Our volunteers purchased a special meal for the children and provided much needed instructional supplies. We contracted for 100 beds to be built and contracted for a much needed toilet and shower facility. Although our project is underway we need another $4000 to complete the work.
Maria Miller, Sasha Bilar and her family and Roselle Kovitz will return to Chiangmai in December to spend the holidays with the children and ensure that the bed and toilet project is completed.
