StreetKids! Program

Thursday, November 27th, 2008

Children from the STREETKIDS! program are not just poor children – they are children from high risk backgrounds, be it substance abuse, gang involvement, family violence and vice.

We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming support given to this program. While most organisations are in need for child sponsors, we have been blessed to have it the other way around with supporters waiting on the sponsors queue waiting to help that special child.

What makes us so different you might ask ?
The difference is simple, we are extremely careful in our screening process to take in the ones who really need help.

To be honest, many parents come up to us to offer their children to be placed on the streetkids program, many are from poor families, some even destitute. But in the place i’m working, 80% of the people are destitute – living just off SGD$6 a day for an entire family.

Every single StreetKIDS! sponsor know that each child has only ONE sponsor and the sponsor is the vital key to turning the child’s life around.

In our work, we have our fair share of heartaches and pains. But thats the price we pay in our work :)

If you are keen on supporting a child, please write in to eugene@radion-international.org and we will put you on the list. Once a child comes on the program, you’ll be the first to be notified.

Should I Have One More Trip ?

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

The Nov FRT trip has officially ended. It was awesome fun in both Phetchabun as well as Site X where we distributed the crocs shoes to the refugees and all :)

Anyway, I’m thinking of organising one more trip in December in addition to the Christmas trip.

The tentative dates would be 18-22 Dec, its a simple overview of StreetKids work as well as village outreach.

Why so close to the christmas trip you may ask ?
Its an opportunity for volunteers to come up to help us with the pre-christmas work of distributing food and maybe get dirty with some hands-on work.

I know of a family which requires repair for the roof, one more family which needs a toilet built. So maybe drop me a email quickly and if we manage to gather at least 6 pax. we’ll go ahead with the trip !

CS300 : Support Our Cause !

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Dear Friends and Sponsors,

We face an overwhelming task this coming 2009. Just as RADION wishes to continue bringing gifts of hope to desperate lives. Financial challenges came up which lead us to consider if RADION could continue this effort any further.

Through support and suggestions from friends and kind sponsors. We have decided to launch Core Support 300.

CORE SUPPORT 300 (CS300) is a simple but yet critical support raising campaign to enable us to continue reaching lives.

How does this CS300 work ? Its rallying 300 like-minded supporters (or 300 pledges) to partner us by supporting with just $50/month for a period of 1 year.

That translates to just $1.60 every day. That money can buy you a soft drink or it can make you a life changing partner of RADION, where you know that the money will be prudently maximized to reach thousands living in desperate conditions.

Support Us. Support CS300. Your support means the world to them!

To be a part of CS 300.
