Despite our initial fears, the 2009 calendar raised 423,000 Baht, down from 604,000 Baht last year, due to a rise in production and printing costs, and the economic crisis, which prevented many corporate companies ordering custom-made calendars personalised with their own logo and corporate message.
This means the small calendar has raised over a million baht in two years, and since over 95% of all desk calendars are given away free of charge, we owe a huge "thank you' to all those who bought the calendar.
It has also travelled to offices and homes all over the world, and raised global awareness of Chiang Mai in many countries.
200,000 Baht donated to The Children’s Shelter Home, Chiang Mai.
100,000 Baht donated to Croston House Children's Home, Lamphun.
73,000 Baht donated to Bann Nangplaman School, Mae Rim, Chiang Mai

Superb music was provided by "Dang Fantastic" (below) and his talented musicians, three of whom had flown up from Bangkok just to be with us. Khun Dang and the Amari Rincome are valued supporters of the calendar project, and we are most grateful to both of them for the wonderful co-operation.
