Alongside our Bridge Build project, we launched three additional efforts in making it a worthwhile trip: Basic Necessities Donation — In collaboration with the GivingStars, we organized a donation drive for essential supplies, Education Enhancement — Rita (G9’s) project that worked to improve education for the Mlabri, and Sustainable Livelihood — Planting 100 banana trees and mulberry trees allowing the Mlabri to self-sustain themselves and also as an opportunity for generating income.
Our time at the community was rewarding as we got to witness the community growth and progress made over the past two years! We explored and identified new areas of future development, and, most importantly, had a memorable experience that will stick with us and them forever.

MotoSurf Outstanding Athlete of the Year
Motosurf is a high-speed water sport that involves racing on motorized surfboards where riders navigate through a course marked by buoys.
In April 2024, I competed in the first race of the Motosurf World Championship 2024 in Fujairah, UAE. After months of training and preparation, I secured first place, making history as the first Thai athlete to win a race in the Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM).
The season continued with ups and downs. In August, I finished second in Sweden, maintaining strong rankings in the championship. However, setbacks came with engine failures in Croatia and Italy, after that I had a major crash in Macau, which gave me a concussion. But luckily that was the last race of the season.
Despite the challenges, I received the incredible news - I had been named Outstanding Athlete of the Year by the Thai association for the third year. Petch, G11
