Giving
The practice funds more than the practice.
Part of what this work earns goes to three places in Thailand. I would rather describe them plainly than perform generosity about them — so what follows is what they are, where they are, and what the support actually pays for.
mode 3,4
Thailand
Animal shelter
Ongoing support for a shelter caring for stray and injured animals — food, veterinary costs, and the unglamorous daily running of the place.
Chiang Mai
Orphanages
Support for orphanages in Chiang Mai, directed at what the staff say they actually need rather than what makes a good photograph.
Mae Hong Son
Refugee village
Support for a refugee village in Mae Hong Son province, near the western border — a community that sits largely outside the reach of formal services.
Why this is on the site at all
Because you are paying for it.
When someone books a session or buys a course, some of that money leaves the practice and goes to these three places. That makes it your business, and the only respectful thing to do is say so and be specific about where it goes.
There is a version of this page that exists to make a practitioner look good. I have tried not to write that one. No photographs of children, no rounded-up numbers, no language about “giving back” — just the three places and what the money does when it arrives.
What is coming here
- A stated percentage of course and session revenue, published and kept to.
- Annual figures — what went out, and to which of the three.
- Named partner organisations, once each has agreed to be named.
- A way for students to contribute directly, separate from anything they buy.
No figures are published on this page yet, so please do not read one into it. Until the percentages and annual totals are here, this page describes an intention and a practice — not an audited commitment.
