National Children’s Day 2009-Bo Kaeo

Each January, Thailand celebrates National Children’s Day. Some areas are too poor to have much in the way of activities for the Children. We learned of a small school in the mountain village of Bo Kaeo, near Samoeng, Chiang Mai.

Thanks to the assistance of the local administration, this well organized event not only presented an opportunity for fun with the children, we also also provided blankets for the local residents. It gets very cold in the mountains during this time of year, and were welcomed by the people of the village.

Samoeng School Give-Away

On Sunday, 18 May, 2008, Chiang Mai ToyRide Event Number Three was a ride around the mountain to the playground of the Samoeng school to present toys, warm blankets, athletic equipment and food to local kids and sixty children with family members from Mai Lan Kham, a poor Karen village about 30 miles beyond in the mountains.

We met at Yamaha Square, on Huay Kaew road in front of Central Department Store at 10:00AM. Then riding from Yamaha Square to Samoeng where the children were brought from their villages and gifts presented.

Toys and donations generated from the January, Chiang Mai ToyRide 2008 were brought to the event site. The smiles generated were priceless.

If you didn’t come you missed a fantastic event which had great attendance.
