SHANA LAWRENCE hasn't added a story.
Last Year I came to Bangkok to celebrate the holidays with friends (I’m missing the party as we speak), and had an interesting conversation yesterday with a political science major who studied poverty.
I’m not talking about ‘poverty’ in that their parents can’t afford a new iPhone 5, but 300 children sleeping amongst rats and cockroaches. In a slum.
The crazy part? These 300 kids lived 5 minutes away from a high rise condo building that I previously lived in (“best location in town”), right by one of the most prominent luxury shopping malls in Bangkok. I’ve walked past the dodgy alleyway that led down to this slum many times, without knowing it was even there.
Until today.
Today, on xmas eve, we decided to visit this slum. We met the community chief, and as we discussed how we could help, I noticed half these kids were walking around barefoot.
They can’t even afford sandals.
Over the past 3 hours, my friends and I decided to raise our own money to buy a few necessities for these children. We’re going to go shopping for all 300 kids on Christmas morning (less than a few hours from now!).
How can you help?
We already have raised our own money to help, but any more contributions will help us add funds to get more necessities.
