Jan Smit in Thailand for SOS Children's Villages

By Editorial

February 5 2013

Jan Smit has been an ambassador for SOS Children's Villages since 1999 and is therefore in Thailand together with co-ambassador Danielle Oerlemans. They visit the SOS Children's Village Bangpoo there.

Jan writes on his Twitter: “Together with @DanielOerlemans I am traveling for SOS Children's Villages in Thailand… Very grateful that we can do this! #HappyFaces”

SOS Children's Villages ensures that children who are on their own can grow up in a loving family. By strengthening vulnerable families in the care and education of their children. And by giving children without a family a new home in an SOS family within one of the children's villages.

See a video from SOS Children's Villages here:

    Nice gesture, but I have seen much worse things where children were completely feral and neglected in the Philippines, where a foolish Pope has told them that they are not allowed to use condoms or contraception. And those fools still listen to it and see entire families lying on the streets and under bridges without clothes and food. Governments should intervene severely and ban the backward Catholic faith there. Beliefs only bring misery and wars. The law must also be changed quickly and men must be obliged to pay a contribution for their children. I often visit children's homes where mothers have to stay in prison for 50 years or more, but those selfish people refuse to give their kids up for adoption. I have urged the Thai government for this several times, but that does not suit the Thai government. men, who have free rein everywhere and throw their wives out like dogs with empty hands.

    A question to my fellow bloggers: Is there something wrong with me? Or am I seeing something you don't see? Say and write 2 comments, 1 of which was not posted.
    And the other from Colin who, given his reaction, doesn't think it's such a problem because he's seen worse. You can do something with that. Not to mention the rest of what he says.

    My question. Am I the only one who had a bit of trouble falling asleep after watching the video? Because I realized that a poll about how bad it is that we get a few baht less for the euro would have generated dozens of responses. I'm a little ashamed of that.
    We see a beautiful child Phailin (Sapphire) she will not be able to go to school because she has no birth certificate. Her mother is in prison. What's the point of becoming an innocent child? Shouldn't we ask ourselves if we can do something about it?
    I most certainly do. I understand that there are tens of thousands of cases as shown on the video. But if you can only give one of them a better future, that's great. I will therefore certainly commit myself to it when I live in Thailand.
    You don't have to be rich for that. There are plenty of opportunities to do something for a child. Let's worry about that.
    A poll. What can I do for a child who has no future.
    But that's not in it, no one is interested in that. It turns out.
    I could write a long story here, but I'm not very good at it so I'll just keep it here.

    Dick: Because I find your cry for help interesting, I have refined your text. Good luck with your commitment soon.

      Hello dear Kees,
      I understand that images of the misery in the world make you feel uneasy, I do too. But you also realize that this is a promotional video to raise funds for SOS Children's Villages. Cleverly made. SOS Children's Villages has a budget of 2,6 million for promotion. Then you can also expect quality.

      SOS Children's Villages is a reliable organization. See http://www.cbf.nl. 80% of the income is spent on charities. So you can give with peace of mind.

      Myself and with me many others who live here, I give for the study and education of children in my area, to the sick and to the village community. That is less spectacular, but produces tangible results. It costs more than the average donation that people give to SOS Children's Villages, but it is also much more satisfying.

        Dear Jacques
        Thank you for your response I am happy with it.
        I understand that it's a commercial. It is also reality
        It's nice to know there are people like you.
        And many like you I have no doubt about that. That may (should) be said
        Because there were no responses to this topic, it gives the impression that everyone is cold. At least you corrected that with your comment.
        I think what you do is indeed spectacular and that it gives more satisfaction than you
        a few Euros in a collection box, I am also convinced of that

        Sincerely, Kees

    There is still a lot of work to do with the children, I am aware of it, but more and more the children can go to orphanages and build a different future. I have been working with disabled children for 12 years, we try to give them a dignified life because there is no future for them, as volunteers a lot has changed over the years, but our work will never stop here, what we have already achieved is quite an achievement and we are very proud of that, everyone can be here contribute
