Students continue with flood help
The New International School of Thailand (NIST) continues its flood relief efforts by providing support for Wat Bang Phueng school in Lopburi, and the Lamlukka public library in Pathumthani, both of which were submerged for several weeks from May 25 last
Wat Bang Phueng School in Lopburi was identified as needing to rebuild staff housing and refurbishing of furniture.
In addition, the Lamlukka public library was also identified as needing support for its library and for community vocational programmes.
Twentyfive students, staff, and teachers from NIST as well as a handful of students from Bangkok Patana School visited Wat Bang Phueng School on April 29 to deliver supplies paid for by donations. NIST students are continuing to work with two families of children with special needs whose homes were submerged for weeks.
On May 20, 18 students, staff, and parents from NIST visited Lamlukka public library to deliver the donated goods and help with the repainting.
Irene Laochaisri, a year 12 student, said: “I had a great time talking with many people while trying to avoid trails of ants as I painted the walls of a bathroom and splattered paint on my hair.”
