The ULTIMATE Job and Maria Charity Fun Run – FRIDAY Jan. 15th

The ULTIMATE Job and Maria Charity Fun Run will be on Friday, January 15 at 4:30 p.m. on the track.
Job and Maria’s classmates will be graduating from ISB this year, so this will be our last opportunity to race in their memory. (Job and Maria were ISB 1st grade students when the 2004 tsunami hit.) We will run to raise money for scholarships for Thai students. Read a recent letter below from one of our sponsored children.
Parents, children of all ages, and sports teams are welcome to enjoy friendly competition. There will be races for all ages, from the 200 meter Hand-In-Hand race for anyone wanting to race together, to the 1 mile race for Middle and High School Students, and adults. Subway and Twist will be selling, and there will be treats for every participant. Contact Caryn Macky if you would like to help at the event.

Dear Benefactors,
My name is Banharn, a first year student at Public Health Sirinthorn College, Ubon Ratchatani province, programme public health – dental.
The education grant you have kindly given me is like a lit candle, with its light guiding an upcountry boy like me, letting me see the path of my learning opportunity. No matter how hard one studies, without the opportunity, it would be like a car with no petrol, never reaching the destination. Some people have to give up their education, and little by little, images of their desired destinations just fade away.
I have to consider myself very lucky indeed that you have kindly given me this opportunity. Not many people have it. The education grant is also a reminder to study hard for my own future and my family. To younger children, I will be a good example of the country’s young generation.
I am most grateful for your kindness in giving me the education grant. I promise I will pay attention to class, and use the grant money wisely for educational purposes.
Yours faithfully,
Banharn
