Saw John has been in American for four years, his favorite activity here is the soccer team. He is from Thailand, and spent several years in a refugee camp. Nothing has diminished a ready and heartfelt smile.

He wears his hair in a pony tail and misses the freedom he had to walk to see his parents where they worked and to visit his friends. Here, they can’t walk much in their neighborhoods. He is an  honor student heading for high school in  September.

Next week, we are getting him some new clothes and shoes. If you wish to help Saw John, you can contribute to the Gus Fund, P.O. Box 205, Cambridge, N.Y., 12816, or via Paypal, [email protected]. And thanks.
