The Mercy Centre Foundation is a non profit organisation in Bangkok. With your help, they build and operate schools, improve family health and welfare, protect street children's rights, combat the AIDS crisis, respond to daily emergencies, and offer shelter to orphans, to street children, and to children and adults with AIDS - always together, hand in hand and heart to heart with the people they serve.
They work to help the children and communities of the many slums of Bangkok. Together with their neighbours in the slums, they create simple-but-progressive solutions that touch the lives of thousands of the poor every day.

This appeal has been set up to raise much needed funds for the MCF to allow them to continue the amazing work they do in assisting families and children in Bangkok.
Three sketchbooks are currently making their way around the country with contributions being added to them by some of the UK's leading streets artists. Each artist is providing two pieces. This is expected to take around 9 weeks to complete. Once the books are completed they will be auctioned/raffled off.
The artists involved are:
Mr Jago Chinamike Grafter Rourke Jef Aerosol Beejoir Matt Small Miss Bugs Goldie Mau Mau Hush Neverwork Brian Jones Dale Grimshaw Herakut Case SPQR WeLikeStatic Nick Walker
Once details are finalised, information will be posted, so please stay tuned.
