 Kathy Davies, an active member of the Phuket community, has worked in innovative and dedicated ways to raise money in the wake of the December 26, 2004 tsunami. Working with a non-registered charity, she has been in the position to directly help individuals with cash aid immediately and in several cases help people get back in business for the long term. She has concentrated on the village and people in Kamala, Kho Lak and Baan Nam Khem, which were among the worst affected areas in Thailand. In Kamala, she has rebuilt several houses, worked closely with 22 orphaned children, and provided a full-time caregiver, as well as clothes and day trips, for them. She has also aided in the rebuilding of restaurants in nearby Laem Sing Beach. In Khao Lak she has made weekly trips to provide food and water to several of the temporarily relocated villagers in the worst affected areas. In Baan Ban Sak, Kathy has made donations to the school, including funds for computers and buildings, as well as raising sponsorship through age 16 for the 24 orphaned children there. Clearly, Kathy has a keen sense of how to effectively and innovatively secure and provide aid when it comes to children, as well as others in need.Our History Meet our Teachers Meet our Staff Meet our Volunteers Meet our Board of Managers Media Coverage Recent News About Us |
