The LiL Foundation Benefit with Cosponsors Give and Live and Lucky Foo's was a huge success. We packed the house on Saturday April 26th for our Benefit for Ban Kingkaew orphanage. There was fantastic food, magnificent music and crazy comedy. It was all planned in less then two weeks and the efforts of all definitely paid off. Thanks to everyone who came and those who donated through friends or the internet. We raised a total of 59,000 baht ($1,800) US dollars. The LiL Foundation gave 15,000 baht, Give and Live gave 20,000 and the rest came from all other donators. There was also great raffle prizes donated such as fine wine from Sadamnern Limited; manicure/pedicure from Nice Nails; massage from Bor Nguen; oil, tea and natural supplements from Nutra Thai; t-shirts from the cosponsors, Scott Jones’ Life in the Laugh Lane book and 10 body piercings from Naga Tattoo.
The musicians did their thing as Warren Simpson and The Garden Restaurant owner Tim Davies eased the crowd into the groove with acoustic blues; Scott Jones' comedy slides and music got them laughing the tour of the USA and Thailand through his eyes; Aey from The Hug Bar performed splendidly with guitar, vocals and kitchen spoons. Naia Kete brought the magic as usual with original songs, and a new one that was written for the kids of Ban Kingkaew. Touching photos of Ban Kingkaew were taken by The LiL's Steve Rosenfield, and drew a few tears from the guests. You will be able to see the slide soon on the website www.thelilfoundation.org.
The LiL Foundation is looking to redo the bathrooms, repair broken bikes and get mosquito nets and still need your help. If you would like to donate to Ban Kingkaew please visit the donation page and put Ban Kingkaew into the comment field. You can see exactly where your money goes to if you check out either our site or our blog at www.thelilfoundation.blogspot.com.

The LiL Foundation is having a benefit on April 26th from 7pm to 11pm to fund many needed renovations at the local Chiang Mai orphanage Ban Kingkaew. Steve the founder of the LiL Foundation and volunteer/musician Naia Kete is currently in Thailand on their 1 month humanitarian mission. The Give and Live organization is also going to be teaming up with The LiL Foundation to help support the cause. The Give and Live is a local Chiang Mai NPO that has done some amazing work at other local orphanages and we are looking forward to having them team up with us. We are also lucky to have an phenomenal new restaurant called Lucky Foo's to host our event. Lucky Foo's is a 1 month old restaraunt/lounge. It has a relaxed atmosphere with a rock star feel. It has a lifetime of chef experience and the food proves it. Amy and Dean (owners) are going to be taking care of the stuff that soothes our stomach while Kete and others supply the stuff that sooth our souls. There will be a fine cast of musicians including Scott Jones, Liverpool Warren, The Hug Bars' Aye and hopefully we can get Dean to also chip in. Kete will be singing for the last time in Thailand for those of you who haven't had the chance to get a taste.

Baan Kingkaew Orphanage is The first charitable foundation in Chiang Mai province
to dedicate itself to the care of needy children. The orphanage was able to open on July 20, 1966, due to the generosity of Miss Kingkaew Wiboolsanti, who donated her home, land and a financial endowment to the foundation. Baan Kingkaew was therefore named in her honor.

The most important thing that is needed right now is new bathrooms at the orphanage. They had it estimated at around 100,000 baht ($3,100). That is our first goal. They do need 20 pairs of training wheels, two nice big toy boxes that can be left outside and also new beds with mesquito nets. We would also like to get new play sets for them as the ones they have are old and need to be replaced.

Please check out our donation page to help out. Every bit helps out a great deal. You can see our blog for these kids that you will be helping. They are amazing children and an incredible staff. Please help us help them. Thank you so much.

I want to thank everyone who attended the Benefit Show last night. We raised $290.00.

First I want to thank Mike at The Coffee Garden for supporting this event and keeping the door open for more events. He is also helping out The LiL Foundation by supplying over 150 flip-flops for The Covered Feet Project.

I also can't forget my friend Dawn Parmeter for putting me in contact with Mike and making this whole event happen.

The performances were amazing. We had Martin hook it up in a big way with some great music. Naia Kete, I can't say enough about this woman. Her positive and inspiring music represents her state of being perfectly. She is amazing and everyone should check her out. Brandon Tyler, this man should be a comedian as well as musician. He's a riot and adds it all into the mix of his performance. Last but not least Lee Madeloni played percussion for everyone. His arms didnt stop all night and he is super talented. I look foward to doing more shows with all of them.

If you didn't get a chance to go you have got to check them out. Check out the news section on www.thelilfoundation.org website for musician links. Also if you are going to be around
tonight Naia Kete is opening up for Martin Purtill tonight at Hamburger Patties in Sacramento from 5-7pm. Catch her before she goes back to Massachusetts. Hope to see everyone there.

much love and thank you all for being a part of my cause.

I just want to let everyone know that we just tallied up the toothbrushes that we have been given. We have 355 toothbrushes and 50 travel size bottles of toothpaste. We are getting ready to send some off to a village in Lagos, Nigeria on the 21st of February. If you have more to donate that would be great as I will be taking the remaining donated ones to Southeast Asia in March/April when I depart for my journey.

Thank you everyone who has donated.
