BAMBI

BAMBI is a non-profit organization. Surplus funds raised through membership, donations and activities are donated to local charities which reflect BAMBI's concerns and priorities. Our charities team is committed to helping a number of local charities that are focused on children and/or mothers. We make regular visits and ensure that the funds and items that BAMBI members have donated are being used appropriately. In any given year, the committee may choose to focus on one or two charities as principal benefactors. Since the early 80`s BAMBI has always supported underprivileged mothers and children in Thailand. BAMBI charities team collects necessary items to donate, distributes (or facilitates) donations of items, motivates/facilitates volunteers, organizes fundraising events, raises awareness of BAMBI members of organizations to support.

UPCOMING EVENTS

·    BAMBI Bring & Buy Sale May 19th, 2012
At the upcoming Bring & Buy Sale, charities will be supporting  Gift of Happiness with a cash donation of THB 15,000. Part of the fund will be raised through the sale of donated pre-loved goods donated by generous BAMBI members.  Your donation will help to buy new uniforms for children from Samut Songkram School. Children have very little chance to get new clothes because of their familes’ low income. Let’s give those children the opportunity to feel confident when wearing new uniforms that make each child equal to the next. Drop us an email if would like to make a donation.
