Philip and Joy Southwell visit Phuket, taking presents for the children in the Child Care Center under the auspices of the Louis Willgrass Foundation, to whom the town of Kenilworth has donated £4000. Philip found the donation well-used, contributing to the building of a new Center to accommodate more children. He hopes to be there for the opening in 2007!

The land purchased to build a new Child Care Center for between 300 and 500 children (far more than can be catered for at the moment) from poor families so that they can receive an education and enjoy other children’s activities. These children would otherwise do very little during their childhood.

The present temporary center and the children who were there on the day we visited:

Presents are distributed to the children which Joy and Philip have brought from England, collected from Rotarians, Inner Wheelers and Friends...
