APa Bee is just another woman who never had it easy! She is a widower who later was abandoned by her second husband. She had to take care, alone, about her 2 girls and her son and now she also takes care also about Tui, her grand child.

Pa Bee was one of the first beneficiaries of the micro-lending project, we lend her ฿ 3.000 to start her “noodle shop” an amount she fully reimboursed. Recently she asked for another fresh loan of ฿ 5.000 to upgrade her “home restaurant” which is working very well. Her problem is that she is not having her own house. She lived so far in some relative house who now, surely jealous because she is doing so well, threw her out. So she found herself homeless, with her 24 years old son and her 5 years old grand kid.

She came, of course, to Ban Saiunam to ask for help, we told her to wait since we had no money so she waiting for month for a good news. And I had the pleasure to personally give her this good news since a friend of ours, part of the Treviso’s group of Sainam Italy decided to help her, donating the money for her house.

Useless to say how Pa Bee was happy, also because her daughter in Bangkok is another person who just lost her job in Bangkok and was so unable to help her out!

I also have my benefit in this whole operation, since this only means I will be able to continue to have my daily noodles @ Pa Bee’s for the amount of ฿ 20, so Gianni also solved my “survival” problem.
