Baan Kru Noi

Baan Kru Noi  literally means house of Kru Noi.

     So what is Kru Noi ? Not what but who. She is a 69 year old Thai lady who provides a home for orphans in Bangkok Thailand. She has been sharing her home with orphans for the past 35 years. She currently has 55 children living in the home. This is the type of orphanage I was looking for, they do not recieve help from the government or any international aid organizations. I spent about 2 hours there and constantly had children hanging onto me. These children are starved for adult attention, although there are some staff members who assist ms Noi there is just not enough time for all the kids to recieve quality time with the adults.

     There is an old article about Baan Kru Noi here . It is interesting but obviously dated as she now has less than half of the 128 children menioned in the article. She no longer receives the many weekend visitors and donations that she did in years past. I am attempting to raise money to help her and other orphanages, so please donate to world orphans fund or on this blog
