At a party held at Hillside Plaza & Condotel 4 Chiang Mai on February 16,

The money was raised at the 3rd Charity Rooftop Party on the January 13. As
in the last two years, this 3rd annual party was a complete sell-out with
over 400 distinguished guests attending amongst whom were H.E. David fall,
the British Ambassador and Vilas Rujiwatanapong Vice Governor of Chiang Mai.
Part of the funds will be used to build a dormitory for 50 boys and part
will be will be used towards the youth camp where other deprived children
and orphans can go for a short holiday at The School For Life.
The School for Life was founded in 2002 as the “House for Aids Orphans”, but
later children from hill tribe villages, street children and some orphaned
by the tsunami joined. By acknowledging their right to happiness, offering
them a new home, and providing them a first-class education, the School for
Life gives them hope.
The School for Life is a non-profit organization that serves education and
community development. The school provides primary education of mixed levels
and ages. The educational program has been developed by the Office of the
Basic Education Commission. Foreign volunteers are accepted to work as
teachers and helpers.
The Committee thanks all those companies and individuals who helped raise
the money by donating prizes, attending the party and buying raffle tickets.
The 4th Annual Rooftop party will be held at Hillside 4 Huay Kaew Road on 12
January 2008. If anyone has any suggested beneficiaries please contact:
