Welcomr to our
Charitable Experience
We are a non-profit organisation dedicated to helping schools and students in remote
areas of Thailand. The founder is Chomnaphat Smith who is married to Damien Smith from the UK. They have 2 children, currently live in the UK.
Supporting children's education is crucial as it lays the foundation for their future success. Investing in education not only empowers individual children but also contributes to the overall development of society. By providing quality education, we equip children with essential skills, knowledge, and values that enable them to lead fulfilling lives and make meaningful contributions to their communities. Education breaks the cycle of poverty, offering children a pathway to a brighter and more promising future. It opens doors to opportunities, broadens perspectives, and fosters critical thinking. Furthermore, an educated population is vital for the progress and prosperity of a nation, as it strengthens the workforce and drives innovation.

Tansum Temple Nursery School Project
Our first project was the Tansum Temple Nursery School, which is located in Tansum village in the province of Ubonratchathani. Many children in this school did not reach their full potential because of their families' very low income. The nursery building was in a state of disrepair having been built decades ago. In addition there were very few learning materials for the the teachers to educate the children. The Smith family raised funds through various methods such as Chomnaphat giving cooking lessons and Sebastian and Stefan asking for donations rather than presents when it was their birthdays. With the help of another local donor they were then able to build a new nursery and supply a multitude of educational materials for the teachers and children.
Overseas visitors for teaching and cultural exchange
Another aspect of our charity is to give the opportunity for volunteers to spend some time in Thailand teaching key subjects such as Maths or English or to explain to children different cultures or ways of life in other countries. We arranged for a friend in Bermuda to spend a few weeks in Ubonratchathani during which she spent time speaking to children in 3 different schools.
In the future we would like to encourage more volunteers to help children learn about other cultures and to boost teaching of key subjects in areas where there is a real need for it.

This year felt like a classroom of growth. We made mistakes, learned, and kept improving through real action. Every step taught us something about giving — not just with our hands, but with our hearts. It wasn’t always easy, but every smile we saw reminded us why we started. It was a year of learning, laughter, and meaningful joy.
Growing Together
Our third year felt like a classroom of growth. We made mistakes, learned, and kept improving through real action. Every step taught us something about giving — not just with our hands, but with our hearts. It wasn’t always easy, but every smile we saw reminded us why we started. It was a year of learning, laughter, and meaningful joy.
It was a heartwarming sight to watch them guide others with care and confidence, passing on the same warmth they once received. Our small circle of giving expanded, becoming a beautiful cycle of learning, laughter, and love.
The Beginning of Kindness
Our first year began with pure passion and inspiration — a heartfelt desire to do something good for others. Though we were new and inexperienced, our hearts were full of hope and belief that every act of kindness, no matter how small, could make a difference.
The Mini Home of Love
This year, our small group of young volunteers gathered for a mini event called “Tum Hak, Tum Home” — a cozy space where teens joined hands to create happiness through creativity and compassion. The spirit of youth made the project full of laughter, color, and love.
Our second year was filled with youthful energy and creativity. Tum Hak, Tum Home became a mini gathering where young hearts came together to create, to share, and to make small changes that carried big smiles.
It was a year of laughter, friendship, and discovery. Every idea, no matter how small, added color to our journey. We learned that kindness can be fun and that even the youngest hearts can make a difference when they work together with love.
A Family of Volunteers
By our fourth year, we had grown — not just in numbers, but in spirit.
What began as a small act of kindness had blossomed into a family of volunteers, each person bringing their own warmth, creativity, and energy to make our shared dream shine brighter than ever
We wanted everyone, not just our team, to feel the joy of connection — to laugh together, to share smiles, and to go home with hearts a little lighter. The atmosphere was filled with laughter, music, and a sense of belonging that reminded us why we started this journey.
Each event reflected our growth — not only as organizers, but as people who truly understood what it means to create happiness for others. It was a year of unity, harmony, and heartfelt giving, showing that kindness becomes even more beautiful when the whole community grows together.
This year, we welcomed back the young volunteers from our second year — the bright-hearted teens who once joined our Mini Tum Hak, Tum Home event. Now, they returned not as participants, but as helpers, ready to share their hands and hearts with others.
Watching them grow and give back was truly inspiring. Together, we worked side by side, turning their youthful energy into kindness that reached even more people. It was a year that reminded us how compassion can bloom beautifully when it’s nurtured and shared.
This year marked a meaningful step forward.
Our activities became more organized, with thoughtful planning, clear roles, and stronger teamwork. For the first time, we opened our doors to the wider community — inviting neighbors, families, and friends from the village to join our events.
Our story doesn’t end here — it keeps growing, just like the hearts that make it possible.
Each year brings new faces, new ideas, and new dreams. Together, we continue to learn, to give, and to create moments that matter.
We believe that kindness has no finish line.
There will always be more smiles to share, more hands to hold, and more stories to write together.
And the Journey Continues...
Together Again, July 2026
So here’s to the years ahead — to growing, giving, and walking side by side.
Let’s keep building this journey of love, one heart at a time. 💛
