Construction of a Pond Bath for swimming instruction

Otto the Long-Distance Walker was on the road again!
A heartfelt thank you for his generous donation to benefit the children.

Background: Every year in Isan, tragic accidents occur because many children cannot swim.
Today, Otto donated 31,000 Baht to Ban Kon Liab School. The funds will be used to build a small swimming area where the children can receive swimming lessons.

As a special surprise, Otto brought the children KFC meals – an experience that brought them great joy.
Volunt2Thai sincerely thanked our long-time friend and supporter Dr. Otto Zeitlberger, who once again had embarked on a long-distance hike – from Bangkok to the Volunt2Thai Campus! For every kilometer walked, Otto had collected donations in support of the schools in the project area.

Back in 2023, he had been on the road for an incredible 3 weeks and 21 days – 651 km on foot! He had dedicated his hike entirely to the children who had been supported by Volunt2Thai and numerous volunteers for almost 13 years.
Thanks to his initiative, more than €2,000 in donations had been raised in 2023 – a sum Otto had even partially topped up out of his own pocket. This money had been used for essential renovation work at the campus and for the schools, helping them to restart after the standstill during COVID.

Thank you, dear Otto, for your tireless commitment – on behalf of all the children, teachers, and supporters of Volunt2Thai!
