My Story

Hello! I am taking part in a 10 K run to raise funds for buying a dairy cow at the New Life Foundation, a mindfulness based low cost recovery community in northern Thailand. This Foundation provides an incredibly effective and beautiful program, based on Buddhist philosophy, vibrant physical health, and sustainable living. The foundation hosts a wide variety of people from all kinds of means because of it's extremely low cost. New Life is working towards feeding our members entirely off of the land, but right now all of our protein sources are bought from outside, increasing costs and decreasing the sustainability of the program. So on November 25, we will be holding a run to raise 85,000 baht (approximately 2,833 USD). This will include buying our lovely lady cow, fencing materials, and initial veterinary care. Caring for her, and the daily milkings will be a shared part of the community work for the residents and volunteers here, and will become another healing mindful activity for people in recovery. We are doing our fundraising through Simplygiving.com since it such a safe, secure, and cost effective way of raising funds. It is tried and tested, and very safe. Can you help by donating a few dollars towards this cause? I have a goal set of 600 baht, approximately 20 USD. Thanks for reading, thanks even more for donating a few dollars. It goes a long way in Thailand, and your gift will be given many times over.
