Just to clear a few things up:
* The fair was NEVER cancelled and we will find out who told you to go home Raro.
* The fairground is set up on the Saturday which takes around 12 hours to do with all the stalls, electrics, stage, sound system etc.
* Jesters Care for Kids have to pay for the set up come rain or shine - we can't afford to pay for the set up again for it to rain again. Therefore the fair unfortunately cannot be re-scheduled.
* We appreciate people were literally unable to make it to the fairground and therefore not many stallholders turned up or fair-goers.
* The underprivileged kids were there from the beginning and had a fantastic time. They were fed, watered, played games, sang and danced.
* The electricity was turned off on the field for safety reasons so stallholders that needed power wouldn't of been able to trade.
With regards to the website. We know it is not working properly but this is due to personnel problems and we are hoping to be up and running very soon. In the meantime our Facebook page is being constantly updated and also had updates on the fair day confirmed no cancellation. http://www.facebook....erscare.forkids
With regards to management. We are a volunteer committee who put in a lot of time and effort into organising our events. We always try to cover every eventuality but this one beat us.
We have had a lot of support from the local community who understand why we couldn't cancel and why we can't reschedule, and they are donating in different ways. At the end of the day it wasn't successful but we can't dwell on it and are looking forward to our next events on the 14th & 24th September.
Please email through Facebook or vicechairperson at care4kids.info if you have any further comments or would like to support us by attending our other events or donating.

Granted being a volunteer committee with limited resources. I still have to agree with other posters that this was handled poorly.
This tread has been running for close to 2 months, with information about the fair. Why not have someone update the tread?
You mention Facebook, not everyone has an account there, (and some wouldn't even want to be caught dead with one).
So that might not be a viable solution, as well as this is the first time Facebook has been mentioned in this tread.
It was very difficult to handle especially when you are at the fairground, unfortunately Thai Visa isn't in the forefront of your mind.
With regards to FB it was set up when the website went down to keep people up to date and it is not our only long term solution, our website will be up and running soon.
