While billionaires turned politicians out of their personal interest and greed (and unfortunately this seems not to be a peculiarity of Thaialnd only) are gambling with the future of this wonderful country we, poor common people, are still trying to do something for our poor people, not with words but facts.

While in Bangkok they mindlessly cover the streets with blood and protesters are being paid ฿ 500 a day (or more) someone else, in our villages, made a big difference!

So many times we hear politicians (of every color and party) and religious leaders (from every creed) staging big speeches about making a difference, but then at the end of these speeches nothing ever changes.

I never heard a single one of these 14 young people who came to Ban Naudom make a speech, but here their voices were heard. They humbly made a difference for 3 families when they helped build their houses.  For these families it was the first house they ever had.  If this is not making a difference, I really don’t what else is.

So, on behalf of these families and of the Sainam Foundation, I would like to thank all of you. Carlos, Simone, Salvatore, Hanna, Blue, Ryan, Tristan, Kadeema, Jonathan, Anthony, Hannah, Alexander, Amilcar, and Skyler your work was very much appreciated. And, course, I would also like to thank their “master” or “commander in chief” if you will, Mrs. Leslie Guggiari.  

It really was a positive experience for everyone involved. We really enjoyed having them here and yes… also had lot of fun!
