Hope, health and happiness in the heart of Kalim

[snoop1130]

 

Phuket’s Kalim region sits over a small hill to the immediate north of Patong, the world-famous epicentre of hedonism and decadence on the island. Although it is so close to the immense cashflow of Patong’s buzzing cash-registers, Kalim is a rather down-at-heel suburb populated by many impoverished families…. fisherfolk, odd-jobbers and the unemployed.

 

Now however, there is a simply wonderful initiative of hope and future happiness growing and developing in the midst of this
community, right beside the bustling road leading north through Kalim, in the evolving form of the new Chicorée Children’s School.

 

This wonderful initiative is being completely funded by a wealthy Swiss family with strong connections to Phuket working hand-in-hand with a well-known local Swiss ex-pat, Thomas Brack.
