The LiL Foundation Benefit with Cosponsors Give and Live and Lucky Foo's was a huge success. We packed the house on Saturday April 26th for our Benefit for Ban Kingkaew orphanage. There was fantastic food, magnificent music and crazy comedy. It was all planned in less then two weeks and the efforts of all definitely paid off. Thanks to everyone who came and those who donated through friends or the internet. We raised a total of 59,000 baht ($1,800) US dollars. The LiL Foundation gave 15,000 baht, Give and Live gave 20,000 and the rest came from all other donators. There was also great raffle prizes donated such as fine wine from Sadamnern Limited; manicure/pedicure from Nice Nails; massage from Bor Nguen; oil, tea and natural supplements from Nutra Thai; t-shirts from the cosponsors, Scott Jones’ Life in the Laugh Lane book and 10 body piercings from Naga Tattoo.The musicians did their thing as Warren Simpson and The Garden Restaurant owner Tim Davies eased the crowd into the groove with acoustic blues; Scott Jones' comedy slides and music got them laughing the tour of the USA and Thailand through his eyes; Aey from The Hug Bar performed splendidly with guitar, vocals and kitchen spoons. Naia Kete brought the magic as usual with original songs, and a new one that was written for the kids of Ban Kingkaew. Touching photos of Ban Kingkaew were taken by The LiL's Steve Rosenfield, and drew a few tears from the guests. You will be able to see the slide soon on the website www.thelilfoundation.org.
The LiL Foundation is looking to redo the bathrooms, repair broken bikes and get mosquito nets and still need your help.
