US Navy sailors at Thai school in Thalang, Phuket

Students at Baan Paklong-cheep Anusorn School are very happy with the US navy sailors volunteering to help paint their school. Lets go check out their art work! These 15 to 20 men & women are US navy sailors from the USS CHUNG-HOON ship that stopped by at Baan Paklong-cheep Anusorn School to finish the painting work that the past Community Relations or COMREL by the USS Boxer ship sailors had started to paint on a hallway and handrail up a stairway. The school is about 45 minutes drive from the deep sea port, where the ships moor, which is quite convenient for sailors to stop by and visit so they also played soccer with the children. Rotary Club of Patong Beach also supplied paint, brushes, rollers, ladders, sheets and other tools for painting. The Rotary Club told Andaman News that more painting was needed on the stairways and hallways. This charity event was suggested by the Phuket International Womens Club (PIWC) who give scholarships to some of its students. Larry Amsden from Phuket Rotary Club of Patong Beach, explained to Andaman News why the US navies came here: Root or Bhundit Maneejak, the owner and leader of Home and Life Thailand foundation for unfortunate kids that lost their parents during the Tsunami disaster, also brought all the foundations kids to this school and joined lunch with the US navy sailors. He also expressed his gratitude about the event and how happy the kids seemed to be. Interview Bhundit Maneejak. The kids are very happy for this event ...
