Sister Joan, a religious Sister from the Western Australian Congregation of Presentation Sisters, has been working in Bangkok’s Klong Toey slum area since 1991. Her tireless efforts focus on helping communitymembers with their basic needs through the provision of food, education and health-care. The area is otherwise known as "The Slaughterhouse Bangkok".

We achieved much more!!!! Our donation of clothes was a BIGGER suitcase, our Bikes were BIGGER, Our Money was in a BIGGER envelope (just kidden)...
all jokes aside, the experience for a "bootcamp" is very empowering everyone has come back a winner. It would not have been possible without the awesome assist from the Thai P.A. team Arwee, Amie, Noy..
We enjoyed so many moments, none will be so special as our team effort to donate to this worthwhile project. We are very proud to support a fellow West Australian.
The memory is so much more profound with the experience of being with local Thai people to immerse us into the culture.
Our token gesture of our donation brings to us honour and heart felt kindship, we are talking of a return trip and the chance to be a little closer to the Community effort, in the meantime we will spread word of the project.
Sincere good wishes
CIB tour group 3 leader, Aaron
