Smile for the camera please... 😅💛 Showing off their vegetables they planted themselves!

CLC students had a road safety training session recently, but due to the rainy weather our teachers did an indoor session which worked just as well!

We always appreciate it when our scholarship donors drop in to spend some time with the children they sponsor. Kevin it was good to see you again, and thank you for bringing the kids joy with the special gifts you brought them! 💛

The second round of our baking training program with Marriott Business Council Thailand chefs started last Saturday with baking brownies. The students were attentive while chef Sutee and from Le Meridien shared some additional tips. We think the end results speaks for itself! The program in cooperation with Marriott is part of ACF's Step-UP(Skills, Training and Education) program and provides life skill development opportunity to high school students who may want to enter the hospitality sector after school, to try their hand at baking. Thanks Chef Sutee and team!

Yes, she did it! 💛... We attended Bee's graduation ceremony which finally took place this week after being delayed by Covid. Bee started out with ACF in our original Childcare Center in Patong in 2004 as a 4 year old. She completed her degree in English in 2023. We're extremely proud of her accomplishment! She was sponsored by the Singapore Wanderers Rugby Team who went above and beyond helping her with her education as well as some personal matters. HUGE thanks to the Wanderers for your amazing support over the years and for helping Bee reach her academic goals! Bee is the first person in her family to receive an university degree.

Some International students from Prince of Songkla University joined our newly started English afterschool program. Volunteers to assist is always welcome and we want to thank Leonie, Nadja and William for giving their time to help us!

Last week our little ones had a full program doing some science experiments, playing outdoors, and messing with some paint while learning about colors. Adding colors makes life even more beautiful!

Then and now.....Facebook reminded us today that we were busy building our first permanent building this month 7 years ago. Thinking back to where it all started and remembering all the wonderful people who have helped us along the way to get where we are now. We could not have done it alone! 💛 Thank you for joining in our mission to provide a safe educational environment so we can reach out with a helping hand when children and families are most in need.

Thank you to each of the other 4 football teams who played in Saturday's charity match. Despite the extreme weather conditions in the morning, we're thankful that the weather improved later in the day and all the matches could be played as planned. Congratulations also need to go to the PHUKET IMMIGRATION POLICE Team who ended up coming second. Maybe a win next year?

Our Cornerstone Community Church ministry team arranged a fun sport activity day and Bible verse competition this Sunday. Children and parents were divided into teams and it was such a great afternoon having everyone out on the football field after the service, sharing in the fun and fellowship. A warm thank you to all our team members who helped organize and arrange both this week-ends programs!

Due to an emergency we were delayed in announcing the winners of the ACF CUP 2 Charity Football match which took place last Saturday. For the second time the winners trophy went to the KATHU VIP Seniors team. Congratulations! Thank you for playing and for supporting our scholarship program... 💛

Last night children attending our Youth program had a great evening outdoors. The weather was wonderful and everyone enjoyed a few games on the new football field before they had opportunity to learn how to set 'S.M.A.R.T' goals for themselves. Great work by our staff who volunteer every week to assist K. Pat managing this program!

The weekly SOS(Scholars of Sustenance)delivery took place already this afternoon and some of our team members are on the way to deliver the food bags to children in the community. Thanks to all our team members who help to re-pack the food every week! These food bags brighten up the lives of some of our scholarship students, Burmese families, as well as some older members in the immediate community who are all in need of that little bit extra every month 💛

We're excited about the progress the children who attend our Wednesday after school program are making. They either study to play piano, drums, guitar or English. Soon we hope to add art as well as an option again. We need to add two new digital piano's to enable our students to have more opportunity to practice. If you are able to make a donation to help us add music instruments, please contact us by replying below with your email address! 💛
