UPDATE from Laem Tong School (a.k.a. The Sea Gypsy School) on Koh Phi Phi Don, Thailand

SawadeeKa, Bermuda!
Well, I just received an email from Khun La from HiPhiPhi International & The Krabi Relief Fund telling us how excited the students at Laem Tong School were about their stocked new Library!

Our Tsunami Relief Team donated 100 000 Bahts (approx. $BDA 2 600.00) to Laem Tong School to purchase books, book shelves and two computers for their newly built Library. Khun La even had some money left over from our donation and said that the Teachers had asked if they could use the money to refurbish a part of the staff living quarters that had not been fixed since the tsunami! Knowing what I have learnt about Thai people, it is very difficult for them to ask for assistance, so you know their living quarters must really need fixing!!!

Here are some before & after pictures of the newly stocked Library!

Well done, Team & Chok Dee to the students and teachers of Laem Tong School!
