Bangkok--Oct 12--VISAGE CO.,LTD.
IT&CMA/CTW will be conducting a charity drive for Carry For Kids from 12th-14th October at IMPACT Convention Center.
Carry for Kids promotes and educates airline staff, travel agents, industry partners and travellers about how they can as individuals make a difference to the lives of underprivileged children in developing countries.
The programme encourages travellers to carry a parcel of necessities such as toothpaste, toothbrush, blankets etc for the less fortunate children in selected homes and orphanages.
This year, IT&CMA/CTW will be supporting the Baan Rajvathee Orphanage for girls and Pak Kred Babies Home. The Babies Home provides a loving place for 320 infants aged from birth to 5 years of age. The children are brought to the center from hospitals or public places where they have been abandoned. Also from broken homes where the parents are not suitable and children who are basically homeless.
The orphanage for girls is quite large and accommodates 384 children aged from 5 to 18 years. A small percentage of the girls are intellectually challenged but are given every opportunity to succeed in life.
We would like to request for all IT&CMA/CTW delegates to prepare some items as stated in the wishlist for the babies and the girls. You can fit all the items in one shoebox/soft bag and drop it off at the collection center at the entrance of Exhibition Hall 9.
Alternatively, you can also make a small cash donation when you pick up a packet of popcorn from the Popcorn stall and all proceeds will go to the orphanages!
