The Fencing World Championship was still going on, when Wiradech Kothny arrived at Ban Bangsak. Right after his last fight, he went with his wife and his son to Frankfurt. After 15 hours of flight he stepped down the gangway to Phuket airport. In the night he wrote the following report. At the same time the German sabre team started in Leipzig.

Long time ago there has been a Willi making news and updates all the time. Now he is back but only with new updates. After the rebuilding of 43 homes, many things looked like if there was no development. That is somehow correct. The point is that sometimes people need the presence of a person who gives them the necessary support and attitude.

Actually I don't want to put myself in a position like this but after my return to Bangkok, things did not went the way I expected. But now we do have a person in charge who seems to push us forward. Time will tell. The new person is:

Mr. Yuttana Kemakriengkrai aka. Mr. Chang. Thailand lovers will know what CHANG in English means.

Chang is the word for elephant and that is how he is like. Mr. Chang is big and has some attitudes like foreigners.

I mean he is not late for appointments; he listens, is not afraid to add his own opinion, gives responsibility to the victims and is a man with a big heart and right attitude.

After the rebuilding of 43 homes we did the canalization for preventing flooding during the rain season. Canalization/ Drainage- big machinery for something you will not see in the future!		Following that we did send our workers to a workshop for gaining the skill of the new brick system. Top row from left: Samrueng, Suthin, Damrongsak, Somchai with three guys from the workshop. Bottom row from left: Lam, Cha and Kamhaeng.
The new brick system consist the Lego technique which has the advantage to build walls more easy. The color is brown with a red touch. We can produce now our own bricks for the following other projects, the resort and the multipurpose building.
Women do the sieving once more.		This machine mixes the sand with other ingredients.
The mixture is: 5 tanks red sand, 2 tanks normal sand, 5kg cement and another tank of granite sth.		Women do the mixing of the ingredients.
The mixture is done...		... and is filled into the press.
Closing the press...		... and action! The mixture becomes a brick
Don opens the press... ... and there it is!!!		Out of the press on to a shelf, where the bricks have to dry 10 days to gain the maximum strength.
