I will be joining a flash mob in aid of the New Life Foundation's Song for Space Fundraising Event! We are desperately looking to expand our life coaching and therapeutic facilities to cater for the growing needs of our community. In order to accomplish our goals we require your assistance to realize this dream. Our proposed solution to our space problem is to build an additional building in which staff and volunteers can offer life coaching and therapy to the residents. We would build this ourselves, using mud bricks and other natural materials. This way, we can keep the cost as low as possible. All labor will be donated by our own volunteers, except for the more specialized work, which will be done by local village labourers. Funds raised will go towards the following: • Concrete • Windows (frames/glass) • Tiles • Roofing • Plumbing • Paint • Electricity supplies • Drinking water filtration system • Hiring local village labourers to do some of the construction work that that we can't do ourselves Addiction and depression often lead to the depletion of financial private funds and here at New Life we aim to assist residents in dire need of financial aid on their road to recovery with a scholarship program. Any additional funds raised will go towards the scholarship program for residents in need. IN ORDER TO RAISE FUNDS, WE WILL BE HOLDING 3 FLASH MOB EVENTS AT CHIANG RAI PLAZA! IT'S GOING TO BE LOTS OF FUN, AND WILL INVOLVE SINGING, DANCING, DRUMS, COLLECTIVE HUMILIATION, AND...CUPS! We aim to raise 400 000 Thai Baht (about 12,200 USD /9000 euros/7200 GBP) and to commence construction after the rainy season in October 2014. To help reach this target I have set a personal goal to raise 10,000 THB and would love it if you would join me in supporting New Life's work by giving whatever you can. If you would like to sponsor me you can make safe and secure donations through PayPal or by credit card (in Thai Baht) by clicking on the "Donate Now" icon above. Using this platform is really simple. Please feel free to also share my page with friends, voice encouragement, or even join me and get involved yourself! The proceeds of your support will immediately be sent to the New Life Foundation and used entirely to fund the Song for Space Project. To make the donation maths easy 100USD = approx. 3000THB, 50USD = approx.1500THB, and 5USD = approx.150THB / 50GBP = approx. 2,470THB, 25 GBP = approx. 1235THB, and 5GBP = approx. 247THB. Remember that in Thailand even a small donation can go a long way so please dig deep and give what you can. Every little bit counts! Love and kindness from Chiang Rai Julien Gryp
