BeaThai

My wife and I met some great people the other day. Our daughter had helped with the exterior Graphics for a shop and made friends with the owners and so we made a date to go with them to visit the shop because they sell jewelry and other goods manufactured from their design in Thailand.

Bea and Philip were almost victims of the tsunami a few years back and were apparently saved by a local fisherman in his boat.

Since then, they have dedicated a lot of time, money and effort to help the victims and spent a year in Thailand working benevolently.

Now they are very involved with the Tsunami Swiss Fund and share their time between Switzerland and Thailand.

We were very privileged to make their acquaintance and I feel as if we have made some new friends. I’m sure we will be able to lend our support in the future and I will be discussing things further.

It is precious in life to meet people that are actually doing things rather than just being submerged by the problems that life throws at us. They have three children aged 6, 8 and 10 years. What a wonderful way to start life helping others. I’m sure they will grow into strong caring adults through the actions of their parents.

In addition to being touched by their kindness, they really do have a great shop and some wonderful jewelry and other marvelous items. We will be going back soon. If you live in or near Geneva why not drop in and say hello?
