Dear EDF Committed Supporters,
I hope the first few moths of 2010 have brought you much energy at work and
at home. As for EDF, we have had a busy start to 2010 with monitoring Health
Promotion projects in over 70 schools, flood of New Year donations, we have
been delivering your New Year gifts to students on your behalf.

Thai-ED project initiator Dr Prem Naidoo had also brought his team of
philanthropists from Sydney to search for new rural students to help out, adding
to the Project’s already existing 203 scholarship students in Udon Thani and
Nakhon Ratchasima. And we are very happy to announce that for those of you who
have friends and relatives in Australia who would like to help bring more rural
Thai children back to schools, they can now make a tax-deductible donation to
EDF through Thai-ED.

As always, February marks the time EDF goes out to spot-check nominated
scholarship students’ homes, making sure that your kind generosity goes to those
who will make the most of your donated sum. I am sure we all hope that there
will be enough matching funds for all scholarship applicants we have this year. |

I hope some of you still remember our Little Malee and her half-standing
bamboo cottage with one light bulb as the house’s only electrical appliances.
People from Tawanchai Foundation saw her story and learned about her
cleft palate problem. It was a wonderful news that the foundation’s board
member, Ms Suthira, called us to say that her foundation would like to offer the
Little Malee a free operation, which was successfully carried out in early
December 2009. A fast recovery and a Happy New Year to you Malee.

Together with Tawanchai Foundation, we are now raising funds towards buying her
building materials for her new house. If you would like to be part of this
life-changing project, please access
http://www.edfthai.org/support/project_en.asp and make a donation under
“Any chosen project” before March 30th
and then kindly email EDF with your name and typed in “Malee’s House” on
the subject line.

Lastly, we hope 2010 brings you much peace, happiness and enriching sponsorship
through EDF. |
