Slum making in preparation for UNR'08

As you all have requested, here are the photos taken on Sunday:)

Still got more but i lazy to upload. Anyway to all those who werent here, there are still many chances in the future:)

OCIP info

Organisation: People people
Number: 66 5341 3185
Fax Number: 66 5341 3186
*Person to look for: Ms Jyap
Her Email: jyap@loxinfo.co.th

ok. so heres the organisation and contact details as we have told you all about very briefly during meeting just now.
we're not really sure what we can do with them now.
but the main gist is that MJ went with them last year.
so we dont know whats the job scope. but ya. it seems plausible and very much worth a try.

things to note:
the organisation is based in thailand chiangmai, so you all cant search it locally and go down etc.
so the numbers are impt.
and it is very very impt to contact Ms Jyap, she is the key here.
if they happen to inquire, then just tell them we got their contact from MJ who went with them last year.

not sure if it'll work out, but its definately worth a try.

yupp, hope this helps (:

do tell us if you need any help.

Ｈｅｒｅ　ａｒｅ　ｔｈｅ　ｕｐｄａｔｅｓ　ｆｏｒ　ＨＦＨ

Individual Costs - $385( in country expenses and insurance)
-Air fare will have to be arranged by team

Team costs
For a team of 10 pax -min. donation is 6ooo
Additional $550 with each additional number

Since there are 40 pax in our team , it is considered as 4 teams of 10pax. Hence the minimum donation will be times 4 ( according to person in charge) . However, she will be checking with Thailand if they can do up a special project for us. Btw, teachers are considered as part of 40 pax.

Things we may expect :
-digging, mixing cement, laying bricks and other kind of construction work which is done by manual labour.( there will a construction supervisor on site)

We can also incorporate other activities like visits to orphanages or local schools to do some teaching . But the main focus will still be building homes .


Thats about it . YupPS
