Popular Post webfact Posted January 4 Popular Post Share Posted January 4 The sight of elderly individuals in yellow aprons diligently cleaning pedestrian flyovers under the pelting sun may be disturbing to many. After all, most Thais have been raised to respect the elders and ensure they are well looked after. With Jang Wan Kha, or Please Hire Us, boldly written on their aprons, these seasoned citizens are not forgotten souls left to fend for themselves. They are the proud beneficiaries of the Mirror Foundation’s groundbreaking job placement programme for the homeless. The foundation’s mission is to empower these resilient souls, ensuring they earn at least 500 baht per day. This income not only helps them afford daily sustenance but also sets aside a little for emergencies or medical needs. With the ultimate goal of moving them off the streets, the foundation dreams of providing them with a roof over their heads. Sitthipol Chuprajong, the driving force behind the Jang Wan Kha project, is rallying for support from government agencies and the private sector. Although the project doesn’t exclusively focus on the elderly, the majority of its participants are 60 or above. by Puntid Tantivangphaisal Photo courtesy of The Nation Full story: The Thaiger 2024-01-04 - Cigna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

proton Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 500 baht a day is more than the minimum wage, so they are doing well if they can get homeless paid that much for probably menial jobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 Utter disgrace that the government can't help this foundation, and that Thai multimillion- billionaire USD, that can't be named. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
