Dear Friend,
My name is Pannawadee Amm. I’m very glad to receive the present that you give us. I like every pieces in the box especially the dolls because I never got any before. My mother went to give her thanks to the teachers at the church because she doesn’t have money to buy them and she is very thankful.
