The Consul General of the Austrian Embassy in Bangkok, Gerhard Götz :

I am happy to support such an important undertaking as this one, which aims to give underprivileged children a real chance for a better life.

 

 

 

Lizzy Ginsel

Lizzy is Swiss citizen who was born in Indonesia. She spent her childhood in the Dutch colony of Papua- New Guinea. Through her marriage to a German, she came to live in Aachen where her son Patrick was born. She started a career in Show Business where she worked with stars such as Rudi Carrell, Rex Gildo, Gitte and Howard Carpendale and was a mannequin model and photo model.

Since 2008 she lives in Hua Hin and has relinquished all professional responsibilites. Since then, Lizzy dedicates her entire energy to her new social project called „Wir helfen uns“, while also co-founding the „Power of Love“ Foundation.

Andrew Stocks

Andrew is certainly considered to be in the inner circle of prominent expats in Hua Hin.

The agile Britain, who already at the age of seven immigrated to Thailand, offers an impressive portfolio which is very hard to match!
He is the founder of many different companies such as Empire Properties, British Thai Group, Best Western Plus Serentiy, as well as, thedeveloper of The Heights Village.

In 2014 Andrew called into life the charitable organization „Power of Love“, which gives socially challenged children a chance on a new life.

Patrick Bielack

There are many reasons for taking on social responsibility outside the personal framework. Who hasn’t thought after a positive experience that things could have gone differently!

One reason why I decided to become a founding member of „Wir für Kinder“ is the love of the people involved, to really want to help, in an uncomplicated way and not only on holidays!

Rico Alokuzay

Children represent the future of our world.

Only if we succeed in giving children a chance for health, education, sport and fun, can they prepare themselves for their future challenges.

It`s our task to bring a smile to the faces of children now so that they can continue to believe in their dreams.

Many personalities have already supported our projects
