Ta Auan has been housebound for some considerable time because he cannot walk. But recently, thanks to the generosity of a Norwegian Group, he is now the proud owner of a wheelchair. You would think problem solved, but not quite. The next issue to face the family was, how do we get Mr Ta Auan out of his house? His pathway was made of broken wooden sticks and not wheelchair friendly. He was still stuck in his house.
Kate’s Project then approached Philip Wall Morris, Director of Community Services, Rotary Club of Jomtien-Pattaya, to ask for help. Philip and his committee were delighted and very willing to help. Building materials were purchased and a new pathway was constructed in double quick time. The house was also made water tight before the rainy season starts.
You’ll be pleased to know that Ta Auan can now been seen in his wheelchair in the surrounding area of his home. It has made such a difference to his life and also that of his family.
