Shortly after the Tsunami our attention was drawn to the district of Thai Muang in Phang Nga Province. In co-operation with the local government we have been involved with helping children who suffered hardship as a result of the disaster at the end of 2004.

Two years on we are still working hard to raise the standards of education and welfare for these children, many of whom lost family members to the Tsunami. Many people from overseas have given generously to support these projects, but we are particularly grateful for the help received from the Riseley, Swallowfield & Farley Hill Charitable Trust, without them none of the following projects would have been possible. It is wonderful to know that some of the schools that have donated to this charity are helping the schools in Thai Muang in this way.

Thai Muang Adventure Playground Completed in 2005, this was our first project to give the children in the town somewhere to play safely.

Thai Muang Nursery School This has been ongoing for over 18 months and is finally nearing completion. The NLF has reconstructed an old municipal building with the co-operation of the local council and added children's toilets, and a kitchen and dining room. The Local Education Authority will supply the teachers. All that remains to be done is to equip the school and bring in the children.

Thai Muang Secondary School Sports Facilities Over the past 2 years we have been able to install a basketball court, football pitch and an open-air lunch area for people to sit and eat while watching the game.
