Good Things Must Share


The leader from Malaysia was looking for an opportunity for her girls to look beyond themselves and learn to look out for others less fortuanate than themselves. As we "accidentally" met and explored ways in which there would be an opportunity for us to network amongst ourselves that would benefit both sides, what was planned to be a trip to Thailand for 2 years down the line came to be pushed forward 1 year earlier.

Due to many rumours of the thefts and even kidnappings of foreigners by gangs, the Malaysian team was very hesitant to bring their young volunteers who were from middle school to high school to the collegues levels.

Besides, during the end of the year when school terms end and  monsoon seasons begin, additional stresses were laid upon the leaders as the students would be busy with exams, while needing to prepare for the trip.

However after many zoom meetings and interactions between the Thai side and our counterparts in Malaysia, together with concerned parents, it was decided that despite all the fears and stresses, the foreign team still had many blessings and GOOD THINGS  in their lives that they MUST learn to SHARE!

Thus began the goal of the team to save their pocket money, source for funding and spend tireless nights after the examination periods to practice activities and familiarise themslves with Thai Culture and Customs.

In their first ever trip to Bangkok, Thailand the team of 6 girls and 3 adult leaders, did their best to share with the Thai children and youths, whatever Good Things that they have, like their talents and resources.
The team gathered enough resources to gift the around 300 Thai children with stationery items and 10 families with Lifepaks of daily necessity items for the needy.

The Foundation is every so grateful for voulunteers and  supporters who give their best to share and serve others regardless of the inconveniences that they hae to go through!

Thank you all!

Worst Floods in 80 Years

Considered the worst flooding in 80 years, 47 northern provinces was hit by floods from the months of August to 20th October, 2024. According to the Bangkok Post newspapers, about 256,40 families were affected during this period.

Two factors that contributed to the flash floods and severe flooding were 7 heavy rainfalls that saturated the Mae Sai river which runs past Thailand and neighbouring countries, and the passage of super typhoon Yangi that wreaked northern Thailand.

 According to water mangagement authorities, this year there was exceptional amount of mud that came with the flood waters, indicating a change in land use  along watershed areas. which likely involved the neighbouring country of Myammar, in lands controlled by the government, ethnic minorities and  armed groups. There is a great need for governmental involvement to affect real changes.

As news of the first flash floods arrived in the province of Chiangrai, the Foundation received news of immense flooding in an organic farm that  we have connections with. This farm in Chiangrai province has been educating our volunteer teams on local herbal uses for food and healing, use of organic methods in their vegetable and animal farms, as well as educating and liasing with the surrounding local farmers on sustainable  use of the land. 

This devastating news brought tears to many who know or are involved in their work, as photographs of vast areas of their farmland was under water. When the waters subsided, restoration work began on the  buildings and now they are trying hard to rehabilitate the land.

In effort to assist them and the local families and farmers there, our Foundation managed to source a closing down sales of construction materials like pipings and pipe joints so that they can use to repair the damages to the equipment  and even homes.

Pern, the manager of the farm says, "The damages has been so vast that we were on the verge of giving up, but seeing that many families are dependent on the work we do, our team decided to fight on against all odds. So we are very grateful to donors for all the help extended to us and our local community, and what the you have sent to us is very apprepriate and timely. Thank you so much!!"

The Foundation would like to thank all donors for your kind consideration and sacrificial giving towards the victims of this damaging flood.

Any feedback or comments for the betterment of the ministry is welcomed.

Many thanks and may you have a Great Christmas and Happy New Year as well!

Blessings!
