This is a sad case. The father is dead and now the mother has had a motorcycle accident and has a pin in her leg that has to remain until August 2010. However, as she was caddy at Khao Mai Kaew Golf Course, and she is now unable to walk properly, she has lost her job. However, the owner felt sorry for her and has given her a job as cashier at the course, but she is unable to earn sufficient to cover all the family expenses and the children are trying to help by caddying at weekends.

This is the little girl who has been taken in by Gampanad's ( one of our students) family. Her mother has AIDS (in hospital in Samutprakarn) and her father has disappeared.

NIROD PANJANIROD (M) 29th February 2000
Grade 3 School 7
Father dead, mother earns 150 B per day when work is available. She is a general labourer who will work at anything, but her income is, understandably, irregular.
There are 6 people in the house, and until recently mum was the sole earner. However, her brother-in-law has just started a new job making cushions for motorcycles. As yet he isn't sure what he will earn.
Monthly Expenses: Utilities 900B School lunch 400 B Rice 1740B Daily Food 5,600 B (We think this is high, and so probably includes milk for the baby. We'll check on this.) Rent is paid on the land on which they have erected their shelter at a cost of 4,500 B per year.
Family in the house - Mum, son, married daughter and husband and their two children of 3 years and 7 months.
