We are so excited to announce the arrival of baby twin girls Far Sai (ฟ้าใส) and Chun Jai (ชื่นใจ).
Without your generous support through our emergency medical appeal, this family would not have had the easy access to medical care in Thailand for the safe delivery of these precious twins.
It is with great gratitude that we bring you exciting updates from our recent field trip to Burma, where we competed two food relief drops from your recent donations.
The first for the village where our building and development project has seen a library built for the local school.
We have some wonderful news! Baby Star has made a full recovery! Her family are absolutely over the moon and immensely grateful.
Last year when we met baby Star and her family it was clear she needed urgent medical attention so we rushed her and her family straight to the closest hospital. She stayed in there for one month but has since returned home happy and healthy and the family are all back together. Read More
Kru (ครู – teacher) Somsak is a 53 year old teacher from Sanglkaburi, Kanchanaburi on the Thai/Burma border who has fallen ill on a recent trip to a local village. He is of Karen ethnicity living in Thailand due to the ongoing conflicts in Burma/Myanmar. Doctors initially thought he had consumed unclean water which made him sick. He was taken to Sangklaburi hospital where they made the assessment that they could not care for him there with their facilities. He has now been sent to Kanchanburi hospital (4 hours away) where he was put into ICU for further tests and high level care.

Fred and Jeremi took a field trip to the Thai/Burma border this month, to check on the progress of projects in the area. On the agenda was having a look at the school library now under construction, and they wanted to catch up with some of the local beneficiaries. Things took an unexpected turn when a sick child needed hospital care, but thanks to the support of our followers, help wasn’t far away. Read More
Echo International Aid’s A-Team Fred and Jeremi recently took a trip to a village over the border in Burma (Myanmaar) to check out work on the new school library. We are thrilled to bring you this vision to show the construction of the library is well underway. This project was partly funded by the huge party we threw at the Old Melbourne Goal in July, and we’d also like to say a huge thank you to everyone involved. Your generosity is changing the world.
This joint project between Genesis Network, Kidlaunch and Echo to build a library on the Burmese side of the border has a $20,000 AUD budget of which half was raised in Australia. This library will serve not only as a functional building in addition to the existing school but also as a monument of progress for this village where aid simply does not normally reach. These villages are often overlooked by the mainstream aid, or are not accessible leaving these people to fend for themselves.
