We had a great Rice Run event on Friday. In addition to the standard 5kg of rice, 5 cans of sardines, bottle of fish sauce and a bottle of cooking oil donated by SILC, we also gave each registered senior a bottle of drinking water. The water came from Makro employees who know why we purchase so much rice every 2 weeks and wanted to get us the ongoing promotion…. Very kind and sweet, like so many Thai people.

We had 12 volunteers show up on Friday afternoon to give food to 94 seniors and their families. Some “oldies” didn’t show up this time, the weather has been hot with increased pollution so it is possible that some of them are really suffering.
