One of the Thai staff volunteers we (First Aid Bangkok/Creative Solutions http://www.creativesolutions.co.th) trained last year in CPR and AED usage has now trained over 2,000 local national park staff and EMS volunteers.

Heroes Need heroes Inc. 2014/15 Thai Project also saw a donation to Bamboo House, which is an Orphanage in Thailand, very close to the border of Myanmar. This orphanage houses around 50-70 orphans from Thailand and Myanmar. What a great place... run by a lovely team, including some assistance from Pitakkarn (Kanchanaburi).

The Australian Government supported this project through the Australian Embassy Direct Aid Program.

His Excellency Mr Paul Robilliard, the Australian Ambassador to Thailand, visited the HNH's project in Kanchanaburi today.

The Group HNH thanked the Australian Embassy for their dedicated work through the Direct Aid Programs (DAP). For the second year in a row, HNH has worked with the Australian Embassy in Thailand through the DAP, and we (including Pitakkarn) are forever grateful to the Embassy and the Australian people.

The Ambassador was impressed with the HNH project, and the Pitakkarn President was thrilled to have his company for the afternoon. The Ambassador is in Kanchanaburi where he will represent the Australian Government at formal ANZAC ceremonies in Kanchanaburi, where many Australian POW's worked, and died while building the railway to Burma (Myanmar). The Pitakkarn Foundation will be saying thanks to Australia, and providing first aid coverage during the ANZAC ceremonies in Kanchanaburi province.

HNH gives thanks again to Ambassador Robilliard and the Embassy staff.... they are all heroes!
