Formula 1 driver and Ambassador Alex Albon had the idea to create a special version of his Williams Racing helmet at the Singapore Grand Prix to benefit the Iceman Charity. That helmet, designed by the young artists at Bangkok’s largest orphanage with the elephant good luck symbol of Thailand, raised an incredible £84,000! The children of Wat Sakaeo Orphanage are proud of their role in this special project and filled with happiness about its success. The luck of the elephant and the generous support of the sport of F1 shine brightly!
The Iceman Charity is not an official organization. The Iceman Charity is a mission! My wish is to bring smiles to the faces of underprivileged kids – the kids who nicknamed me The Iceman.
All success depends on the lead of the caretakers. So the Iceman Charity decided to finance the five critical roles in caretaking to prove our developments in guiding the kids and improving cleaning & hygiene – Director of Caretakers, Head of Bangsadej-, Girls-, Boys- and Kindergarten Caretakers.

New boards for all dormitories are needed. Most steel boards are 30+ years old and rusted through. Other buildings have wooden lockers, which have fallen apart due to the high humidity.
In total, 1.400 lockers are needed. For some buildings, we are planning to have a double locker board for two kids; for younger children, we can use four locker boards.

The kitchen is the heart of all operations. Up to almost 4000 meals daily, the kitchen needs to be functional daily. No doubt that regular renovations and improvements have to be done. Also, the lifespan of gas-cooking heaters forces us to make immediate changes.
