5/7/17. UPDATE.. Wach is HOME! It has been a roller coaster campaign because of the difficulty of getting accurate information from the word go into English Language. His other eye is now opening.. he can drink a little milk. That is it. He has a sofa and can see/hear the TV. Fresh air and air con when needed. The house is a peaceful place - clean and tidy. Healthier I think than a general ward in the hospital. Money doesn't heal the crime - But shows we care - please give it time.

Visited the lad today. NO BUNTING YET. His face didn't look good so I resisted a close up. He looked at me with his one eye (the other is stitched closed) - He is fed liquid food via IV as his face and mouth DON'T work and there is pipework for his nose. (see the yummy food packet in the picture). When I asked him to try a thumbs up for a photo as before his fingers worked like a dying spiders legs and it took about 8 seconds for the thumb to rise in slow motion. We are nowhere near a smile yet.

Stories lose momentum quickly in a modern world as the next atrocity catches everyone's short term attention. Hope We CAN get to the target - This campaign carries more responsibility as an action than merely giving money. It SHOULD be a sign from the farang community that we understand we share the country and acknowledge that one of our own.. "did bad".
