13 January 2007 :
Visit Dejkumtorn - President of Fund For Friends (FFF) - and members went to join the National Children Day 2007 festival and organized the FFF's VOF-6 project (The 6th "Visit Our Friends" project 2007) in Phang-nga province, the south of Thailand. 

VOF's objective is to let the children, both normal and unprivileged, have a chance to visit each others in different areas of Thailand and enjoyed fun activities together in order to develop themselves beyond the better future and society.

In this VOF-6, FFF took many children and staffs from Bangkok to visit friends in Phang-nga province where children were suffered from the Tsunami disaster few years ago and join activity in the National Children Day together there.

I like the National Youth Day’s activities because it makes me want to share love and good will to all children in Phang-nga province. The VOF-6 is set in good location, good meal and good atmosphere. All staffs and participating youths are so kind and fun. 

Nam-Wan  :  Ms. Suchada  Panchang 

I always join activities in the Children & Youth Development Center. Because it makes me feel that I can help each others. All staffs are so kind. Children in VOF-6 is good and cute. Wishing theme a happiness. And thank you very much to all voluntary staffs.

Choo :  Mr. Boonchoo  Wongnonthabhum

VOF-6 teaches me to know the meaning of “to give”. Almost of our life, we always “take” more than “give”. That makes me love this project. Vof-6 is filled with love, unity, sharing, caring and participating. Everyone feel happy when we work together and know the real meaning of “to give”. For me, I feel happy to work hard with the other staffs, and fun to play and share with the others. In VOF-6, everyone walk forward together and never leave others alone behind. All of my friends are good people. Especially the 3 young men from Baan Kanchanapisek. They help me so much and never blame me in any way.

For the voluntary staffs such as P-Por and P-June, they are so kind and good in working, I know them from the FHCP for long time but never have a chance to talk with them before. Just the first time in VOF-6.

P-Pook is a good person either. Her face always seems like angry, but actually she’s never angry, but always fun.

I’ve learnt many good things from Uncle Visit who always tell us many interesting stories. In my opinion, I wish the VOF camp run harmoniously and fun. And wish I can join every VOF because I like it so much.

Gopgap : Mr. Akkrapong  Boonmee
I’d like to thank to all kind senior for this impressive activities. I learn that however we are, rich-poor, normal-disable, it can not be told whether we’re good person. But it can be identified by action of sharing. I will keep my good memory from VOF-6 as my basic idea to live my life in quality and “give back” to our society either. Again...Thanks!

Tam  :  Mr. Sakchai  Samyo

I’m glad to participate this camp. And thanks to all voluntary staffs for your warmed welcome and familiar. National Youth day activity is so fun because I can participate all the activities with helping and sharing. Although I‘m so tired but feel happy too especially when I see the children’s smile. It pushes me back to my childhood good memory. I learn many things from VOF. Thanks to let me participate it. And I hope to join VOF every year.

Ek :  Mr. Ek  Chan-at

I’m very glad  to join VOF. It’s my first time to participate activity in the Tsunami area. I impress with participating children’s smiles. It makes me so proud to make them smiled.  Thanks to every one concerned.

For me, VOF is a very good project. Excluding to know new friends, I can learn about team-work, get more experience and knowledge such as working together, being patient , sharing and caring other feeling, and self-mental rehabilitation. To visit many interesting and beautiful places refresh our mind, fill with mercy, calm, sharing, caring with love to people around me and the environment.  Thanks to Uncle Visit and all voluntary staffs for let me participate VOF. May this project still be forever.

Ta’ :  Mr. Nattapol Saensuk

 I’m very happy with VOF! Thank you very much to all voluntary staffs that give a chance for a “no-feather bird” like me to join and feel happy. All of VOF activity is used to be only in my dream. I want to participate project like VOF for a long time but have no chance. Finally my dream comes true!  I’d like the time stands still because I never feel happy like this before. In my real life, happiness is only in dream, unhappiness is real. Children like me never get warmed caring from others, always isolate, no friends, no parent. However I will do the best for my better future. And I will keep this good feeling in VOF with me forever. Thanks so much to Uncle Visit and all voluntary staffs.

VOF-6 provides benefit to 3 main target groups.

First is the participating children who come to join the National Day Fair 2007. They are happy and fun and learn how the society cares for them.

Second, the VOF-6 voluntary staffs who come from different background ; such as normal youths, unprivileged group or problem youths. When they play roles of “giving” to other children, they can learn and feel of happiness, team-work, friendship and self-esteem.

The third target group is voluntary staffs and children who used to participate in the For Hopeful Children Project (FHCP) in Rayong province. They can have a chance to develop their relationship both personal and on duty.

Excluding the previous 3 main groups, are the people and children in VOF-6 camp area who can maintain and develop their friendship and good understanding among their societies within a short time.
