The Ruth Center<br />
is a special project under the umbrella <strong>of</strong> the Project L.I.F.E Foundation whose<br />
belief is that every life counts. This hands-on project works directly with more<br />
than 200 seniors in Bangkok slum communities—in ways that bring not only<br />
help but also joy into the lives <strong>of</strong> these seniors who are alone in the community.<br />
Ruth Center supports the aged by giving them transportation to and from<br />
doctor appointments, and daily visits to check on them, listen, and lend a hand.<br />
They supplement food when necessary and fund small construction projects<br />
within the slums. The direct one-on-one interaction between the Ruth Center<br />
staff and the elderly is what makes this group so special. They bring hope to<br />
these seniors who are alone by just being there to listen, and letting them know<br />
that someone DOES care.<br />
