"When life feels meaningless, go out and help others."

This trip was a continuation of our previous trip where we and our friends went hiking and backpacking to visit the students at Kru Mod's school. Before we left, P'Tiw told Kru Mod that if we had time, we would find an opportunity to invite friends to do another project. Now that the time is right and everyone is available, we have gathered friends and members from various fields to join us on a trip to visit the students. As it is now the rainy season, vehicles are prohibited from entering the area. We have already submitted a letter of coordination to the Khu 3 Ban Pong office for our hike.

Note:

The school has clarified that they do receive a government budget for school lunches. However, the high transportation costs of bringing dry food from Sangkhla Buri town to Laiwo School, which is located in a remote area, make it difficult to provide dry food for the students. The school is located over 20 kilometers away from the town center and can only be reached by crossing a mountain or using an off-road vehicle. During the rainy season, travel between Laiwo School and Sangkhla Buri town becomes even more challenging, making it impossible to transport dry food for the students' meals.

Teacher Mod continued by saying that after someone shared the story of her and the students of Laiwo School online, many people contacted her. However, she did not answer most of the calls because she was often teaching. Additionally, there is only one point with a mobile phone signal, so she apologizes to everyone.

The following is a summary of the dry food and supplies that Teacher Mod has requested for donation to be used by the students:

- Rice vermicelli/Canned fish/Instant noodles/Glass noodles

- Ingredients: seasoning powder, onions, garlic

- Dishwashing liquid

- Essential household medicine/wound cleaning equipment

- Umbrella/Boots/Raincoat/Mosquito net/Candle

- School uniforms/underwear for girls and boys

- Football/Volleyball/Sepak Takraw ball

• Clay/Crayons

For those interested in donating or inquiring about further details, please contact Khru Mod at 098-2699-697 or Facebook: Duangtawan Chaiyaphob.

On Thursday evening, Mr.Wut, Mr.Gam, Mr.Keaeng, Mr.Pui, and Uncle Thong picked me up at home.

Others, like Oi, took the train. Tiw drove her own car but waited until after work. They then took a van and are expected to leave around 11 pm.

Upon arrival at Sankhla, some groups stayed at P Guest House, while we stayed at Pla Lung Noen, which costs 1,000 baht per night for a room that can accommodate five people. Additional guests are charged 200 baht per head.

They arrived at the raft around 10:30 p.m. with Nong Tree arriving earlier. After putting down their belongings, they went for a walk on the Mon Bridge to enjoy the night view. After talking for a while, they returned to the raft to have a barbecue. However, on the way back, Nong Tree dropped his wallet from the Mon Bridge. They had to search for it for a long time before they found it. The grass was very overgrown, causing painful scratches on their legs.

Wake up early and take care of personal matters.

The atmosphere is very conducive to sleep. We will prepare to go to the front of the hospital. We will leave at 7:30 AM. Allow time for breakfast as well.

We unloaded the items we were going to transport and loaded them onto the truck. Then, our group went to eat.

After lunch, everyone drove to the Takhian Thong Forest Protection Unit. Uncle Wut's car got stuck in the mud. We cheered him on by laughing at him.

The initial ascent of the journey was incredibly steep, a relentless incline that left us gasping for breath.

Arrive in succession.

A tree was struck by lightning and toppled over completely.

The heavy rain has turned the path into a muddy mess, making it extremely difficult to walk. The ground is slippery with pig manure, posing a significant risk of falling.

Despite being a paved road, it is very difficult to walk on. There are many steep hills that require a lot of effort to climb, and it is difficult to find flat sections of the road.

There has been a fall.

Short of breath.

This area has a telephone signal.

The path is very slippery and there is water all the way.

Those who arrived first found a place to sleep, bathed (walking to bathe in the stream), and played with the children or explored the area. Some began preparing dinner in the kitchen.

The first night, I tasted the delicious food cooked by my younger brother, Aat.

Our sincere gratitude to the kitchen staff who tirelessly prepared this meal for us, especially after a long and tiring journey.
