More Vocational Options through new Building

Hello!

Hope you are doing well. Thank you for your support of our new Building project. Today we can give you a little update about what has happened so far. 

Through your generosity and the generosity of many other donors we have now raised a little more than 6 Million THB. We have hired a company in Bangkok that came and did an official evaluation of the building that we want to purchase. The result was a 62-page document that confirmed the price that we had in mind. 

The very next day we had a meeting with the owner couple and very fast agreed on payment terms and other small things, but sadly, when we came to main price for the Building, they asked for three million THB more than the evaluation price. We tried to negotiate with them, but they were not really open to it. We decided at that stage to take some time, evaluate our offers and that will contact each other again in next weeks. We are still hopeful that the owners will come down with the price. They had their expectation of the value of the property and were very surprised that the evaluation was a lot lower than their hopes. 

In two weeks, we will also present the whole building project to all the board members of our foundation. They know about this project but during the annual board meeting we get the chance to explain it all in detail and answer any questions that they might have.

So much for an update from us currently. We are hopeful to have a breakthrough soon and continue to trust that we can finish raising the needed funds for the building.

Attached you will see a couple of pictures from our latest outreach party. We had 63 women attending from many different bars and one left sexwork already and moved in with us and two are very close to move in with us.

Thank you for your support!
