If you look on my blog list you will see a blog called Thai Girl. The author is called Andrew Hicks and he has also published a few books. One called Thai Girl and just recently another called my Thai Girl Friend and I. Thai Girl was first published in 2004 and has since evolved. It is now published around the world after doing so well here in Thailand. You can read more here.
Enough about the books. Andrew is a really great guy. His blog Thai Girl is a great read and of course really well written. Lots of pictures and reporting on his every day life living in Thailand with his wife Cat. He is very generous by helping out a local school. He donates books and also is helping fund a lunch programme.
This is where I hope a few readers may help. The school is a typical Thai rural school. They survive as best they can. Many rural Thai folk don’t have a lot and are pretty well self sufficient. Extra money for lunches or even making extra food for the children to take to school isn’t possible.
In this post called Thai School Girls are So Appealing he delivers some money to the head master of the school to fund the kids lunches for a few weeks. The kids have been eating plain rice and if lucky, they might get a piece of meat or omelette. You can see pictures of the visit at the post.
I know that there are kids worse off across the world, there are worse things happening but if you would like to help Andrew out and donate a little money to this cause, then please do. It is a good cause, it isn’t a scam.
So please head to the above link and all the instructions on how you can donate a few dollars are there. Even if just one reader makes a donation then this small blog informing you of this cause was worth it.
Leave a comment if you do decide to donate and I will give you a personal thanks on my blog.
Brunty.

Well Brunty, you have inspired a generous reader to donate the biggest sum we've had. This will mean that ninety school kids will not go hungry through the day for several weeks.
Thanks so much for posting your appeal amidst all the pressures of your day and for landing this one for us.
And I'm told that if you manage to take off a substantial number of kilos he'll repeat his donation.
So I'm distressed to see your later blogs abou food which I note is a subject you always return to. I want to see some stories about jogging and sports (though I can't see that you have a lot to lose as you look trim enough in your photos).
Prolem is I know that Thai women like the pompui man!
More donations for lunches are still desperately needed. See www.thaigirl2004.blogspot.com.
