IBAP President Michael Massey and IBAP member Gary Warton to visit the Ban Kathu primary government school to donate noodles and cash contributed by some of the kind people attending our last monthly meeting.The invitation came through former IBAP trustee Piyanooch Ananpakdee, Project Coordinator of Bangkok Hospital Phuket. A number of Bangkok Hospital Phuket staff are lending assistance by volunteering in the classroom, teaching the enthusiastic students English and other health subjects. The school lacks sufficient teachers and equipment, with old and neglected facilities.
The donation of these noodles and funds are part of IBAP's consideration of how else to help the school.
