Our friends in Bangkok have returned for a second visit to one family’s house in Bang Buathong neighborhood to continue painting. Here is a reflection from our Director, Art Saowichit, from the most recent event, where he describes the house’s condition and the impact that our group of volunteers were able to have. A few [...]
Tomorrow marks the start of part 2 of OFF’s effort to help flood victims, as we will venture back out to the Bang Buathong community to help out by painting houses. This will be a weekly project moving forward until we spend the rest of these donations. So we will be currently holding off on [...]
Next operation will apparently consist of delivering of supplies to Bang Buathong, as well as maybe, and hopefully, some painting of houses.

Apparently, water levels are slowly receding, and because of this, the Channel 3 news network (which was the biggest organization there we remember helping out at the time) team has also receded So we’re [...]
Happy to report that this was probably the most effective trip so far. “Eliminating waste” has been a theme lately, trying to think about ways to reduce costs and time spent on certain tasks. So very successfully, zero time was wasted in getting to the highly affected areas in Soi Jantongeam area in Bang Buathong, where [...]
