Giving Underprivileged Children in Thailand a Chance

By Dan Cheeseman

 

handtohand.jpeg

 

Hands up I can be selfish and consumed only in what I am doing, but I think we can all fall victim of this, and it is a shame. We all make ourselves too busy each day as we fill our days with work and other such tasks. Some people however, and these are very few, spend their time going out of the way to help others.
