“Today was a happy-sad day for all those of us at MERCY Centre who have, over the years, shared the laughter and tears of this delightful little girl’s progress. Whilst in our care her grandma visited regularly, and longed for the day when she would be physically and materially able to take care of her full time in a safe and wholesome environment.
That day came on May 14th and although Luknam left us to go to her grandma’s village some 12 hours north of Pattaya, we are delighted to be able to report that one of our regular volunteers with whom she has formed a special bond over the years, has agreed to sponsor her education and hopes to keep in touch and give us reports on her progress.
Just look at her beautiful face – to see such happiness brings tears to your eyes. We will miss her, but this is a day we hope all our children may experience – to know they have a family that loves them who wants them home with them forever. No-one, no matter how caring, can ever replace their real family. ”
