All the following projects need support.

 

I know that I cannot do much for the people here but it is still better to do what I can.

 

Donations to those temples or my projects are always welcome!!!

 

If you want to donate, contact the temple (AIDS temple or Drug Withdrawal temple) or send it to my account.

 

If you send it to my account, please contact me under this email: mckaruna2001@yahoo.com

 

Please let me know for which project you want to donate.

 

Thanks in the name of all those who’s suffering will be reduced through your generosity!!!

Building 4 houses on Lhanta Island &

supporting the building of a Community House with Kindergarten for victims of the Tsunami at Phuket

 

Through the generous help of the German Buddhist Union and many of my students we could build 4 family houses for Tsunami victims on Lhanta Island.

 

These projects are completed.

 

Monthly help for 160 Nuns

 

Since 2005 I support 160 nuns with a monthly donation.

 

Nuns (Mae Chees) are not so good supported in Thailand. The people here think that supporting the monks will bring them much more good kamma, because monks have to keep 227 rules, whereas nuns only keep 8 precepts.

 

So nuns mostly need to support themselves and without any income this is not an easy task. Especially for those who do not have relatives to support them.

 

I am a Mae Chee since January 1990, and I know about this problem very well.

 

So in 2005 – after completing my teaching tour through Europe, having some donations left – I decided to share to my “sisters” in Thailand.

 

I hope I will be able to continue this project for a long time!!!

 

 

Sharing necessary items to the poorest of the region

 

This project is very important to me!

 

Since 2005 I was able to share once a year food and other necessary items (10kg of best Thai Jasmine Rice, 5 kg Sugar, 1l good Vegetable Oil, I Bottle of Fish sauce, Medicines and other items like clothing, shoes etc.) to 108 of the poorest families of the area I was living in.

 

Partly school kids from poor families were supported with school fees, books and school uniforms.

 

Running supports for the “AIDS TempleWat Phra Baht Nam Phu Lopburi

 

Since years we (my students and me) do our best to support the AIDS Temple. This place is doing such good work for full blown AIDS patients. The temple needs about 5 million Thai Baht a month to survive. Almost all of this money is coming from donations.

 

Here I also want to mention the generosity of Joerg Dittmar, who made a video about the HIV Band of that temple. He offered the Video to the temple to help them getting more support.

Support of Wat Thamkrabok Drug- and Alcohol Withdrawal Temple

 

This place is doing good work to help drug- and alcohol addicts from Thailand and abroad to do a successful withdrawal.

 

If I have some budget left then I try to support this temple too.
