'Sawasdee ka' to all of you 105 lovely pledgers!!

With 12 hours to go before the end of our campaign, we are £21 away from £11,000 (with an original goal of £9,000, that makes us nearly 122% funded).  We couldn't have done it without you!

As promised, the PORE scarf was gifted yesterday to our backer Debra Silver in Canada who took us across the £10K line - thank you again for pushing the 'button' a second time.  Amazing!

Indiegogo's credit card payment integration platform for US pledgers has been painful to some of you for which I apologise; it has made it impossible for countless others to pledge which is regrettable.  Unfortunately this is a common problem (we're told now) for campaign bank accounts located outside the US; as a result, US bank account holders are subjected to greater scrutiny that often leads to payments being declined - a problem I hope will be resolved so other campaigns can at least benefit.

However, being included in Indiegogo's perk hotlist newsletter yesterday was a blessing for us as it has given us access to a flurry of 'six degrees of separation' backers; we're deeply grateful for that.

To express this we're offering a silk-cotton blend CORE scarf (unisex) in either silver-grey or olive-green to you (and only you) for 50% off our website price of £99.  So, if you feel like pledging another £49.50 in the next 12 hours before the campaign ends, it's yours for the taking and will be shipped with your other goodies!  



It comes beautifully 'gift-wrapped' (sustainably!) with a spare gift card & envelope in case you wish to give it away to a loved one.  Simply follow the link http://igg.me/at/APOCCAS-heirloom-scarves/x/4843534 and contribute £49.50 without clicking a pledge and it is YOURS - you have my word!  Here is a 1-minute video about the matron who hand-makes them for us with her weaving group in Mukdahan, Northeast of Thailand.

Thank you from the bottom of our heart to all of you determined changemakers for making this campaign such an incredibly special event.  We are sending love and gratitude to you in all corners of this beautiful earth.

'Kop khun kha' from the Land of Smiles.
