Direct Support

Just right after the Tsunami, a number of volunteers and donors has been incessantly come to the school to share their grief with those who lost and those who survivors. Their genuine willingness to help of any forms and any extent, such as clothes, food, furniture, drinking water, cash, etc., is greatly appreciated by teachers and students alike. They could never praise you more.

However, special thank to Ron Rubin and Rebecca Beddall of Seattle who delivered the "Missy McDonald Assistant Fund of Florida" to 55 orphan students at Khuk-Khak School directly. It was amazing to learn from them that they are actually Tsumani survivors as well.

What happened was they stayed on the second floor of a Kaolak Hotel on December 26, 2004. The luck was on their side because when the water came, they woke up jusst in time and fled to a higher floor. And it was so fortunat as well that the hotel they lived was the only building that didn't not collapsed.

Moverover, after they survived, they rescued a two years old Swiss baby who happened to be in the same area. God blesses all of them.

According to what they said, when they returned to the United States, they appeared for a CNN interview and on Lary King Show to tell American people about what happend with them when the Tsunami struck. Then they met a nine years old girl from Florida, Missy McDonald, who organized a fund raising campaign to help Tsunami orphans oversea. Then they took their time traveled back to Kaolak to distribute the fund to those kids.

Their story might sound interesting and exciting but it happened for real.

Khuk-Khak English school teacher, Ms. Nuntaporn and her students want to say thank you a thousand times to Ron, Rebecca and Missy McDonald as well. Please let them know what's going and stop by the school when they have a chance.

At Pakweep temporary shelter, Monique of France was with a sixth grade, Tsunami orpan, Nilnate Jailuk, and her little borther. Bravely, from now on she has to assume her mother's role.

A group of Thai volunteers delivered a number of benches, made of plywood, for use in the canteen and classroom.

Mr. Jakra (right most), a Thai volunteer, traveled 200 kilometres through moutains and forests from his hometown in Ranong to Kaolak on his own bike.

Young, American volunteer, Peat, from Villanova University, Pennsylvania, happened to be at the Tsunami scene. He and Malisa, his girlfriend extended their visit and devoted their travel time teaching English class to six grade students.
