Today I was alone for the Milk Run – Adri was not well and Miron is still in Europe. So I focused on getting more done, delivered 12 peckets of milk formula in Rong Moo and rushed to a car wash.
At 9am I was in Suan Ooy to serve another 11 bags of milk formula and a set of reusable baby diapers. Here are more pics from this Friday…
Sapee and I went shopping for Rice and Milk Run supplies and peaked the filled car in Rong Moo by 11am.
Shannon couldn’t lead the troops this week but Martel and her husband David jumped in. Adri made time to come to help at a Rice Run – she’s at every Milk Run as well!… A great team effort!
Sister Joan received a brand new pickup truck from one of her volunteers in 2002 – 21 years ago. Meghan came from Australia and volunteered for Sister Joan for 3 months. She raised the money for the car by running the Bangkok Marathon.
The past week brought high temperatures and car’s cooling system struggled to keep from overheating. So I took it to Nissan for a service and repair of a few small issues. As expected, the charge was under a $100 and it came back looking like new!
Adri came to help and we delivered 18 boxes of milk formula in Rong Moo before she had to go to work.
In Suan Ooy papps and a grandma came for 4 boxes.
I was finished by 9:15am. Here are more shots from today…
Sapee and I went shopping this sunny morning and finished at Makro by 10:30.
We purchased dried pork at Klong Toei market and while driving to storage room to organize the car for the afternoon distribution, Sisters car started to overheat.
Fortunately, after it cooled off on the side of the road, it was okay to drive to Boss and then to Rong Moo.
In the afternoon, Sophie, Shannon and Willy came to deliver 56 packets of food to our registered seniors.
Adri is back in Bangkok and came to help on this beautiful, sunny morning.
We delivered 16 packets of baby milk formula to our registered recipients in Rong Moo.
In Suan Ooy we distributed another 11 packages. Another success!
Sapee and I did the shopping…
… and Sophie led the afternoon distribution. Willy was there to help and take these wrongful pictures…
Today’s Milk Run started with an emergency car wash. There was some cooking oil spilled in the back of the track that was left over from the last Rice Run. Fortunately, the Klong Toei car wash was open early!!
I made it to Rong Moo in time and delivered 18 packets of milk formula to our registered moms. As always, some babies were there too but you wouldn’t know it – not a single cry out of them! 🥰
I took a coffee break and then drove to the 9am distribution at Suan Ooy community. There another 2 new babies came to get registered and now we have 13 deliveries to make every fortnight! Here are more pics from yesterday…
Sapee and I did a very fast shopping trip, it was all done in 2 hours!
I’m the afternoon, Shannon led the volunteers to another successful distribution. They gave all 58 sets of rice, fish sauce, cooking oil and dried pork to our registered Thai seniors.
Here are Shannon’s pics from this Friday afternoon….
Adri and Amanda came to help on this Friday.
We delivered 21 packs of milk formula and had the usual coffee break at Amazon Cafe. Afterwards, I continued to Suan Ooy community.
There we got another newborn, a 5 day old baby girl. Her mom is 17. I gave out 10 more packs of milk formula there, unloaded the car at Boss and took it for it’s regular wash… Here are more pics…
