Rice for malnourished slum kindergartners

Thanks to Our Rice Project Supporters. I am deeply humbled and grateful to report on the success of the Rice Project, which has been a lifeline for the nearly 1,000 preschoolers attending the 17 Mercy preschools across Bangkok, Thailand.

These young children come from families that face financial challenges. Their parents work so hard, often leaving early in the morning and returning late in the evening, to provide for their families. During these long hours, our schools serve as safe havens, where children are cared for by dedicated teachers who ensure they are well-fed and looked after. Around 15% of these children must wait at school for their parents to pick them up late in the day. With your support for the Rice Project, these children have access to nutritious meals during the extended time they spend at school, ensuring they receive the essential nourishment they need and helping to ease the challenges they already face.

Thanks to your generous contributions, we have been able to provide nutritious meals to these children, offering them not just sustenance but also the love and care they deserve. Your support has made a world of difference in their lives, ensuring that they can focus on learning and growing in a safe and nurturing environment.

We cannot express enough how much your kindness means to us and the children we serve. Your commitment to supporting the Rice Project has not only filled their plates but also their hearts with hope and joy. You have given them the foundation they need.

Thank you for standing with us and for believing in the importance of giving these children the best possible start in life. Your generosity is truly transforming lives, and we are honored to have you as part of our community.

With deepest appreciation,

Mercy Centre

I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. On behalf of everyone at the Mercy Centre, I wanted to extend our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support of our rice project. Your generosity has played a pivotal role in ensuring that the children in our community have access to nutritious meals, allowing them to thrive and excel in their preschool education.

The impact of your contribution cannot be overstated. Many of our preschoolers come from families where parents must work long hours, leaving them with little time to prepare meals. Thanks to your support, these children arrive at school nourished and ready to learn, free from the distraction of hunger. Your kindness has made a tangible difference in their lives, providing them with the essential sustenance they need to grow and succeed.

Today marks a significant milestone in the lives of our young learners—it is their graduation day. This momentous occasion not only celebrates their academic achievements but also acknowledges the incredible journey they have undertaken during their time at our preschool. Through your support, these children have blossomed into confident, eager learners, equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to succeed in kindergarten and beyond.

We wanted to take this opportunity to share our joy and gratitude with you. Your belief in our mission and commitment to our cause have made a lasting impact on the lives of these children and their families. You have not only provided them with meals but also with hope, opportunity, and the promise of a brighter future.

As we celebrate this milestone, we wanted to express our heartfelt thanks for your continued support. We are immensely grateful for the difference you have made in the lives of these young learners, and we look forward to the possibility of further collaboration in the future. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful difference in the lives of many more children in our community.

Once again, thank you for your generosity, compassion, and dedication to our cause. Your support truly makes all the difference.

With sincere gratitude,

Mercy Centre, BKK
