Regular questions are:
- How can I help?
The Chiangmai ToyRide always needs volunteers to help on the day of the rides so when you see an event notice posted, send me a PM or post offering to volunteer.
Mrs Hoghead does all the shopping for the events and can always use a hand - Thai speaker is best
Suggest a venue, as believe it or not is is not easy to find kids under the radar, accessible by a decent road within an hour - 1.5 hours, a demonstrated need, in CM province, and in line with our Mission Statement
This is currently our biggest need
- Should I give money or toys?
We always need sporting equipment, educational toys, and older kids toys. OTOH we always have lots of stuffed toys so if you are buying toys go light on the stuffed animals
Money is always welcome, then we can buy the specific toys we need, but more commonly use the money for something more sustainable that the kids, orphanage, school, etc really needs on a case by case basis.
- When and where should I give it?
To our Treasurer at any ToyRide event
At our Website via Paypal if you are outside Thailand
PM me to make alternate arrangements.
Our swag is stored at Richco Motorsports and you could drop off toys or Donations there. Richco is moving into his new shop the end of this month so note the new location down the road from Global
