French International, Hong Kong (October 2003)

Students from French International School are seen here delivering blankets to families in the Lahu (hilltribe) village of Ban Tisae. The students had raised funds in Hong Kong before coming to Thailand

In addition to this help, the students made contributions to a local orphanage and also worked on the fruit orchard section of our own organic farm project. They spent a day planting, watering and adding fertilizer. The orchard is now growing abundant pineapple, banana, mango, orange, papaya and guava.

For their visit in October 2004 French International students helped provide funds and labour, along with Pates’ Grammar School, UK, for the much needed rebuilding of the toilet block in Mae Nok Chan School. They also visited Baan Pong Pom and Baan Pha Kuy hilltribe villages and donated toys and blankets for the coming cold season and they also made a donation of toys and books to both Mae Nok Chan and Mae Muang Noi Nursery Schools.
