We had a great Rice Run with a large group of volunteers composed of 4 adults and 4 of the students we sponsor through the School Run program. They all showed up spontaneously to lend a hand on a hot Friday afternoon.

The shopping at Makro was another unpleasant experience – the price of rice is now 99 baht per bag – a stunning 30% more from 74 baht we used to pay just weeks ago. Our total bill for supplies was almost 20,000 baht and these increases if they persist will greatly impact our ability to help the poor in Klong Toei.
