Phuket nursery to hold Haiti fundraiser

RAWAI, PHUKET: A local nursery is throwing open its doors to Phuket kids on Saturday afternoon to raise money for Haitian children suffering in the aftermath of the recent earthquake and aftershock.

From 2pm, ABC Nursery in Rawai will host an afternoon of fun for kids of all ages.

Activities at event, which ABC is dubbing ‘Kids Love Kids’, will include lots of water fun, arts and crafts, face painting, a raffle and a cake sale.

Children will also get access to the nursery’s play areas, which feature jungle gyms, sandboxes, swings and playhouses.

Entry donations to the event will be 250 baht per child.

All proceeds will be sent to the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), which will use the money to help children in Haiti get access to clean water, shelter and medical care.

Haiti is one of the world’s poorest countries, with more than half of its 9.6 million inhabitants under 21 years of age.

ABC is also inviting parents to bake cakes for the cake sale. Prizes are also being sought from local businesses for the raffle.
