Our charity operates with a very low cost base. The Thai doctors, in particular, provide their service free of charge. We are happy to have fulfilled our financial target for 2009; however, we very much need on-going support. We are presently seeking to raise funds for the years 2010-11. We are in the process of promoting the charity among leading businessman and businesswomen in the UK and South-East Asia.
