The group was welcomed by Suvimol Chivaluk, Director and Manager of SCG Foundation. The two teams spent quality time exchanging experiences on public service and people’s good spirits in the society who come together to bring their best to the table.
“I am inspired to do good by my cousin’s pledge to volunteer as a rescue worker, and I’m keen to support others. That’s why I am part of the Phrae’s rescue team to help disaster victims or needy people who can be patients, injured people, or I have to offer battery jump-start, tow the car, clear and take away dead bodies in the scenes, and others 24/7. As the COVID-19 pandemic hits Thailand, we have to wear masks, gloves and personal protective equipment, and others while rescuing patients or injured people. Despite discomfort, heat, difficulty breathing, we have to wear them to protect ourselves. I received words of support from people, friends, and colleagues, especially the smiles on the faces of families of patients or praises from the loss. Sometimes, I felt disheartened, tired, and upset, but it was all right. We have to continue our cause, be patient and vigorous to support people in time of needs; as the saying goes, “We do good without ostentation to forgive our sins. It’s doing good with attention, not for attention. It doesn’t matter if you are not seen; it’s the ‘faith’ that endures.”
“I don’t care what people will say; I love to sacrifice for the good of all.”

“These days, like all my friends, I have to study online at home. But it’s different for me because I’m from a low-income family. I have to work and also study. It’s tiresome, but I can do it”
Every morning, I do a check-in for class. And later, I work at a garage I worked for during my internship to do repair works. ‘My ears are listening; my hands are working.’ If I have to join a video call, I will do it while doing my jobs. The teachers understand that I need to earn money for the family.
Of course I’m afraid of getting COVID, but I have to work to support my family. I decided to study online and work at the same time. Anyway, I wear a mask all the time. I always use alcohol spray and wash my hands. I never give up on protecting myself.”
#People may deal with hard times and are in distress now. I want everyone to be patient and don’t give up.We will get through this crisis together.
