Celebrating my 64th birthday, we were honored to have gemologists Sebastian Hänsel and Eddie Cleveland join us for a weekend visit to Mae Sot’s New Blood Academy, a Thai/Burma border boarding school & orphanage for over 400 at-risk children from Burma we have actively supported since 2006. Thanks to generous contributions from Sebastian, Eddie, Martial Curti and Theodore Rozet, we were able to deliver over 1 ton of rice, dried beans, dried fish, canned fish, garlic, onions, chillies, fruit-filled biscuits (the children’s favorite!), shampoo, clothes and cloths washing powder, 50 bottles of hand sanitizer gel to help prevent the spears of Covid-19 and other necessities so the school can continue their vital work during these difficult times.
