Remembering our elders who are more vulnerable is very important. As we get older we become weaker and at times more alone, so being aware of the needs of those who need a bit of support is really important. Thanks again to our Khun Tai for reaching out and helping us to support this cause.
Small gifts that are useful
We wish you a healthy, long life

I am very thrilled to see that the first rollout of the 3rd round of contributions (see updates below) has begun and that it is focused on Paka residents. Thanks again to Ms Tai for her excellent and focused approach in giving items where most needed. Our approach requires that each contribution be done on the merits and needs of each recipients as stated before, irrespective of age. The roll out is continuing.

We have prepared a 3rd round of clothing to be sent to the districts surrounding SSNP and plan to do a further 4th round shortly working with my ex colleagues and ex sponsors. The 3rd box was shipped today as we are hoping to have it received before the SONGKRAN festival. Khun Marisa has also purchased a set of new children's clothing for boys and girls. Other items will be destined for teenagers and more senior members of the community. Photos will be posted as soon as the boxes are dispatched and received. They will be given out on a need/merit basis only. RMRTP volunteer MS Tai will evaluate who the recipients will be based on her local knowledge and input from other sources.

Thanks to the support of Khun Pemiga the work of handing out items to those who can benefit has continued. We were also able to give out several bilingual dictionaries to students who want to learn English. Of course for me that is really wonderful if help and support are provided in any form to students to allow them to develop their English skills.
Below a snapshot of the recipients. (see previous update Feb 19th for more background). This round went to the PAKA district in the area of the SSNP. I will be travelling to Sukothai in the near future for a quick visit.

A new box of clothing for children and adults was sent to our RMRTP volunteer for distribution to those who could benefit the most in the sub districts around the National Park.

January 28 UPDATE 2021
Our "silent wings" have continued to fly......silently!
We have been recently able to make further small scholarship awards directly to a number of selected students all of whom were ex students from the Sukothai area. I would like to thank the biggest sponsor of this round Francesco Resteghini (Italy) and his family (Annalisa, Irene, Celestino, Niccolo') for the solidarity, belief in and generous support to Thai students. The students were able to contact Francesco via e mail. Students were selected for their ongoing effort and commitment to better themselves. Students names will remain confidential. We love you and we believe in you. Keep up your efforts.
14 April 2020 SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
As a result of the hardships imposed by the current medical crisis, I am happy to advise that Skipper John has once again contributed a special budget to support Thai students in need that have been trustworthy and engaged with their studies. Many rural students are facing hardships today and the long drought has not helped. I will be reaching out to those that have proven themselves over time shortly and with whom we are in direct contact.
We will try our best to be close to those that need such assistance. Unfortunately our help will be limited. The photos of recipients will be posted in the password protected site and will not be public.
Thank you so much once again!
Helping others to bloom!

Great possibilities exist for those who don't
give up!
The future skills required for students to succeed in any field, especially technology depends on the quality of both students and the education system.
For the students, as we have said many times, it is necessary to develop concentration, discipline, focus and a positive attitude. For education we mean providing students with a good level of ENGLISH and the knowledge necessary to prepare them for future choices.

Through the increasing evolution of technology many students have the chance to learn faster and have far more knowledge than their parents and all previous generations. But we need to guide these efforts so that students can develop a vision of their future interests. For students who wish to study but have economic difficulties the armed forces can provide an income and training if one really wants to study technology.
I also wish thank Khun Somchai K. (scroll below) for sharing some Thai Army (Air Wing) amazing moments with all who love flying. The military have great, very talented people and a high level of technological skills. Worldwide. in many countries they have huge budgets to develop new technological applications (that later become civilian applications) so they are often on the leading edge.

December 2019 UTTHAI THANI TRIP
Sanfun Pumyim Club
I was invited to join a special group of people in a massive school support project. About 300 volunteers and their families from international companies in Ayutthaya and other local companies have been supporting these two rural district schools by building infrastructure and improving the quality of life for students and teachers. Firstly I would like to thank Khun Dar (our longtime RMRTP supporter) for the incredibly hard work to help provide treats and food for students from the primary schools in Ban Rai. A very big thank you to Khun Somnuck T. (Magnecomp) for supporting a truly amazing event that saw many activities and gifts provided to about 150 students. My appreciation to the Obortor, Puyai Ban, the volunteer Tor Cho Dor (Royal Thai Border Police) and staff who provided hands on support for this event. Also congratulation to the Por Ors of the two schools in Ban Bun and teacher Tan for doing such an amazing job teaching English. Being in such a remote location is not easy and there are many challenges for both students and teachers. I also had the chance to meet and talk to several students some of whom were not afraid to try and talk to a farang. We were able to offer gifts, dictionaries and a sponsorship to the most courageous student Mr Gheb (Thongbai J.) See below.
