Popular Post Jonathan Fairfield Posted October 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2021 A group of about 20 dedicated teachers and volunteers braved four hours of rain, mud and flooded dirt roads in Thungyai Naresuan wildlife sanctuary, in Thailand’s western province of Kanchanaburi, to deliver milk to 55 children at a remote school. Although the Ban Koh Sadoeng School is only about ten kilometres from its parent school, Ban Kong Mongtha, the journey is treacherous, especially during the rainy season when the only dirt road to the remote school turns muddy and floods in several areas. The riskiest section of the journey is the rickety bamboo bridge over a rushing creek, which is wide enough for just one motorcycle to pass at a time. One bad mistake can send both the motorbike and rider into the creek, to be swept away by the strong currents.

Exactly, considering Kanchanaburi has a large contingent of army personnel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PETERTHEEATER Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Many politicians are qualified parachutists as seen by the Golden wings worn on the left breast of uniforms. To maintain qualification they could HALO jump with milk laden containers into these communities and earn merit. I look forward to photographs of the Watchkeeper plunging to earth screaming "Geronimo"...........???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internationalism Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 (edited) milk is minimum 95% water, with some skimmed milk over 99%. There must be at least 1 cow close to that school, possibly a herd. Even taking just one cow, or better several goats, will bring steady supply of milk through wet and dry of the first quality fresh drink, bar a hip of empty packaging scattered through the edge of houses. Instead of milk there is also cheese - it's a milk without water. Highly nutritious and caloric. There is also powdered milk - one kilogram would be for the whole school per day.

LeatFingies Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 “The parents thanked the teachers and volunteers, without whom the children would be without milk, as the school is located in the middle of the jungle and travel out of the village in Laiwo sub-district is near to impossible during the rainy season.” Perfect place for a school.

Doing what's true to your heart can so easily be construed as 'insurrection'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And supplied cardboard boxes as shelter perhaps, or the flooding, or airlifted them a cow? Edited October 21, 2021 by RJRS1301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
