Dane supports abandoned children in Khon Kaen

[webfact]

Six years has it been, since Danish Steen Pausbæk and his family first got involved with Baan Luuk Rak Children Home in Khon Kaen.

 

The home for abandoned children was founded in 1997 by Suriya Somjai and his wife, who died of breast cancer eight years ago.

 

Her sudden death left her husband and their now 24-year-old daughter alone to provide for the 46 children that resides at the orphanage. The youngest being only seven months, while the oldest is 18 years old.

 

Besides providing financial aid, Steen collects money for the children’s home from friends and Danish businesses back in Denmark. An effort that recently resulted in a donation of 20,000 DKK from Honorarfonden by Novo Nordisk.

Now wait for some do-gooders to accuse him of touching children... 

No, I am not one of them, but I know how crazy (part of) this world is.

There's hundreds of thousands of us privileged falangs here in LOS. Go and help the orphanages near you.
