BAMBI was formed in 1982 when a small group of women who had been attending prenatal classes together in Bangkok decided to continue meeting once a month after their babies were born. Their general aim was to give the mothers of babies and young children support and friendship, and to help them with any problems that might arise from the sense of loneliness and isolation that sometimes comes from living in a large city such as Bangkok.
Mel Habanananada prepared the original group for natural childbirth and motivated them to meet and support each other after the birth of their babies. Mel consequently became the founder of BAMBI and she still takes an active interest as its patron.
Aims and Objectives:
BAMBI is a mother-led, non-profit group, offering support and companionship in the early years of parenthood. We hold monthly and weekly play groups for babies and toddlers, organize Christmas parties, Bring & Buy Sales, a Summer play group, Splash parties, to mention just a few events. Our charities section is very active with a focus on helping other children in Bangkok. We also meet twice a month for discussions on breast-feeding and natural birth, support for which is difficult to come by in Bangkok. Visit their Web site here.
