This morning I was at a meeting when I received 5 missed calls from Thailand – which was a bad sign. When i finally did manage to excuse myself and called back I found out to my horror that our staff met an accident while sending the children to school.

As I later found out, a truck came overtaking at high speed from the rear and smashed into my truck as it was making a turn, causing it to spin out of control and down a slope.

Here are the pictures.

Now for the other party’s truck

Its almost funny when i look at these pictures. The damage is so disproportionate, with us sustaining a dent and broken rear lights while bonnet of the other car simply folded with engine damages.

Fortunately no one is injured

We are looking to purchase an additional 2nd hand truck for expanded operations to shuttle reliefs into difficult terrain which the existing truck can’t go. This 2nd truck will also be critical in our expanded outreach routines in the next quarter.

To date, we have received a total of SGD 7000 for the 2nd RADION truck. We are working to raise the remaining SGD 15,000 before the dateline on 31 Aug which is next sunday.

Apologies to my readers for the late post. My computer was keeping me up all night with bugs, Trojans and viruses. All the nice stuff.

Anyway I’ve safely arrived back in Singapore for about 3 weeks of meetings and briefings. Things in Phetchabun will be taken care of by Ben who is stationed there right now.

p/s : one more streetkid on the block under assessment. Once we approve the kid, we’ll put him up for sponsorship.
