Flooding in Chiang Rai villages
After the scorching months from April to June, came the rainy season. It is the perfect climate for growing rice which many farmers over here are engaged in. They grow superb quality Jasmine rice and glutinous rice, helping to put Thailand on the international map of rice exports.
This year, however, the rains were exceedingly heavy, causing excessive flooding of the rice fields. Joy Foundation immediately set about to raise funds to provide relief to affected villagers.

Volunteers
We are very thankful for the invaluable help of the volunteers and friends who came to Joy Foundation these past few months.
