Khao Lak School Project
Skal International Phuket would like to thank Skal International
and all other donors for their generous financial support by sponsoring
our post Tsunami charity project.
During the Asian Congress held in Phuket in May 2005, Mr. Matanyah
Hecht and other members of the Skal International Committee took
the opportunity to visit Kao Lak and Takua Pa to get a personal
impression and overview on the devastation in the worst affected
area hit by the Tsunami.

Skal International Phuket has received well over 1
Mio. Baht in donation for its Tsunami relief fund. After carefully
studying several opportunities and possibilities it was decided
to spend around Baht 500,000 by supporting a total of nine children
in three schools around Takua Pa and Ban Man Kem.
Our financial support of the children is meant to be for their
education and the cost involved thereof. The children will receive
Baht 500 per month for school fees, etc. in quarterly installments
made through our treasurer, Khun Suwit Auttayatamavitaya.
The access to the money is jointly controlled by us and the teachers
at the respective schools in order to eliminate any wrong doings.
Four of our members here at Skal International Phuket have kindly
agreed to oversee the schooling project over the coming years and
we would like to thank Khun Methee Tanmanatragul, Jaspal Singh,
Claude Baltes and Claude Sauter for their engagement.
They will report twice per year on the progress of the project
and visit the children and their teachers at the end of each school
term to ensure that our money is well spent.
