Takua pa Hospital Fund initiated by: Lars & Eva Henrikssen and now taken over and administered by Amanda DeNormanville & Gary Soden on behalf of All for Villages.

Our hospital fund for poor people served 25 patients in the past 6 months. Here are just six of them: (Exchange rate appx 100 Baht = $3; 1,000 Bt = $30)

* 42 y o woman with AIDS and blind in one eye, needed help to pay for transport to Sonkla University, in the south, and treatment for CMV Retinitis. 4,000 Baht

* 57 y o woman needed transport to the hospital 200 Baht

* 27 y o man, no medical insurace, with injuries from motorcycle accident - broken legs and ruptured intestine. We paid half the hospital cost of 60,000 - 30,000 Baht

* 29 y o man, schitzophrenic, round trip transportation to hospital 120 Baht

* ? age man from Burma, died from liver cancer, no family and no money for funeral. Our Hospital Fund paid for the cremation, very important in Thai culture. 1,500 Baht.

* 4 y o boy gets glasses for special rate. 800 Baht.

Without this fund these patients could not get the medical help they need. Could YOU be a part of it? We need your help, and it is rewarding to see the results!

We need 60,000 to 80,000 Baht every 6 months. (1,000 Baht = appx. $30) i.e. $1,800 to $2,400.

Thank you for your support, and pics coming soon, when someone can help me post 'em!
