A sad farewell to Pee Pee

There was not a dry eye at the shelter when the children said good bye to one of Childlife’s very dedicated members of staff.

Pee Pee came to Childlife in 2006 on an agriculture study project and was then convinced to stay and become a member of staff. Pee Pee’s role involved mentoring the student council and overseeing the shelter’s agriculture programme.

The programme now include pigs, fish, chickens, ducks and an ever growing range of vegetables. As part of this programme he has educated many of the children about agricultural practices and their enthusiasm and enjoyment for their work is no more evident when you see them watering the plants before 6am in the morning. His role with the student council has been significant and has helped shape and grow many of the children’s skills to now run the shelter.

His impact at the shelter was not only limited to these programmes. He is an amazing role model and friend to all the children at the shelter, someone everyone respects and loves. He got to know all the children and was a good source of advice or just a big hug :)

Pee Pee is off to Chiang Mai to continue further studies in agriculture and fisheries. There he will also volunteer at the soon to be established Chidlife Chiang Mai office.

Pee Pee’s great amazing heart and beautiful caring nature will be sadly missed by all the children and staff at Childife. We wish his all the very best with his studies and hope to see him back a Childlife in the future.
