I apologize for the delay in my posts here. This one comes almost w months late and eat over due.
Adri, May and I had a wonderful Milk Run and gave out 23 boxes of milk formula and 7 packs of diapers to our registered recipients in Rong Moo and Suan Ooy.
Here are more pics. The beautiful ones are by May…
May joined Adri and me for this milk Run. We all met at Bus Terminal (Eastern) next to Ekkamai BTS and were serving milk formula to Rong Moo moms at 7am.
We delivered 11 packets of formula to registered moms in Rong Moo and gave 3 packs of baby diapers to the most needy ones.
At 9am we were in Suan Ooy community and there we delivered another 17 packets of milk and another 3 packs of baby diapers. Here are more photos…
Servane led the effort again and Josie came along with her sister and brother in law to help. They gave out 67 packages to our registered recipients.
Earlier in the day, I had the car washed and then went shopping at Makro and in Klong Toei. Here are more pics from Mar 25th…
On the way to today’s Milk Run we saw an unusual site. In the middle of Rong Moo community, where the old slaughter house used to be, a tree was growing by a wall. Now that wall was demolished and the tree is fine, standing on its own. It doesn’t need the support of a wall anymore…
We had a great Milk Run today, giving 13 boxes of milk formula to our registered recipients in Rong Moo. We then drove to the Suan Ooy neighborhood where we gave away another 16 boxes. We also gave out 6 packages of baby diapers.
As I often do, once the Milk Run was over, I took Sister’s car for a wash. Here are more pics from this Friday…
Thank you May for your beautiful photos of Rice Run work. What an amazing record! ❤️ On this beautiful Friday, we gave out 68 bags of food support for the seniors of Rong Moo and Suan Ooy communities. As always, each person got 5kg of rice, a bottle of cooking oil, a bottle of fish sauce that they love to cook with and a bag of dried pork that should provide enough protein for 2 weeks.
Here are the pics that speak so much better than words…
Khun Anju sponsored this Milk Run by donating 10,000 baht. That is how much we give out in milk formula on a typical Milk Run and almost exactly how much we gave today to our registered moms.
Our Milk Run inventory (seen in the picture above) includes a minimum of 12 boxes each of Lactogen 1 and Lactogen 2, Dulac, Dupro and Bear brand of milk formula. These specific products cover the needs of a new born to 1 year old babies. In addition, we provide Carnation milk formula that can be used for nutritional support past 1 years of age. We give most of it to seniors (over 60 years old) who have difficulties chewing regular food.
We bring a minimum of 72 boxes of milk formula every fortnight so our registered recipients can choose the kind that serves them best. In addition, we provide diapers to qualified moms (who are single or lack family help).
The total inventory costs about 18,000 or just US$300. But the benefits to these babies and their moms are priceless. When Sister Joan started this program, she was seeing babies die of malnutrition in Klong Toei slum. This was just 30 years ago!
This Friday we gave out 13 boxes of milk formula and 4 large packets of baby diapers in Rong Moo and later did another 16 boxes and 2 packets in the Suan Ooy community.
This Friday I did the shopping by myself and left the loaded truck at Boss. Servane, May, Janna and others showed up at 3pm to pack the individual bags and deliver the truck to Rong Moo community of Klong Toei
At 4pm they gave away 64 bags to our registered seniors from Rong Moo and Suan Ooy communities. Here are more pics from Friday…
May joined Adri and me this time. As usual, we started at Rong Moo community where we registered a new baby and gave out 14 boxes of milk formula.
After our usual break at Amazon Cafe we went to Suan Ooy at 9am and gave out another 18 boxes of formula. Here are more pics from that day…
We had a great Rice Run with an Israeli videographer who joined to find out more about Sister Joan and her work. The video is already on YouTube! Thank you Aviv!
Servane and volunteers delivered 69 packages of food to our registered recipients. Here are more photos from the event…
Irza joined Adri and me this Friday. We gave out 11 boxes of milk formula in Rong Moo, then stopped for our usual cup of Joe at Amazon…
… before giving another 19 boxes to people of Suan Ooy.
A teacher from local kindergarten in Suan Ooy came over to inquire about our program and it’s recipients. We sign up babies up to 1 year of age but as Sister Joan often did, we delivered a donation of 8 cases of packaged milk to the kindergarten the same day…
I finished the day with a scheduled car wash. Here are more pics from Feb 4th Milk Run
