Good morning members of Applecross Rotary Club
I am writing to you, inviting your members and friends to the concert (see attached) on Sunday 8th September 2024. I am a member of the E-WA Rotary Club and work at the Makers Market on a regular basis. With Heather Anderson, also EWA, we support a brother and sister in a hostel in northern Thailand. Without sponsorship these children would not have a very bright future.
It would be great to see some of you at the concert - entry is by donation. Could you please distribute this email and poster to your members and friends, and hopefully we will see some of you there.
Regards
Glynis Armstrong

Borderless Friendship WA Inc is a not-for-profit organisation established to provide the best possible opportunities for healthy, safe and rewarding lives for hill tribe children and youth. Please see video link below to view the wonderful work this organisation support.
The children of the hill tribes in Northern Thailand need our help.
Many of these children are victims of the Myanmar War.
Many are orphaned due to their parents dying young, often from AIDS. They are often stateless, with no official identities. That means no passport, no birth certificate and no access to health care or education.
Their day-to-day life is often untenable. They face issues such as:
• being orphaned due to parents dying young, often from AIDS
• sex trafficking of young females
• being recruited to carry drugs
• extreme poverty
You can help by attending ‘Chords for Borderless Friendship’ a concert which aims to raise precious funds for these children.
