Events & Updates 

In the quiet village of Ban Kao, Kanchanaburi, a small house fills with the sounds of laughter, eager voices, and the alphabet every evening at 5:00 PM. This is the home of Nok Krobkhongwong, a woman whose profound faith and love for her community are outshining her own deep personal tragedy.

Just last year, in November, Nok’s world was shattered. Her husband, Dong, was tragically killed in a car accident when his vehicle was struck by a truck in Saraburi. He left behind a grieving widow and six children—the youngest of whom is now just 11 months old.

In the wake of such a devastating loss, many would have broken. Instead, Nok chose to carry the torch.

Determined to continue the missionary work she and Dong had dedicated their lives to, Nok opened her doors to the village. Despite having very little for her own family and navigating life as a single mother of six, she transformed her modest home into the unofficial English Center of Ban Kao.

Every afternoon after school, the children of the village gather at her house. Nok offers completely free English lessons, breaking down language barriers for children who might otherwise never have the opportunity to learn it. But she teaches them more than just vocabulary and grammar; she also shares stories of Jesus, pouring love, hope, and faith into their young hearts.

"She gives everything she has to our children, even when she has so little herself," one local parent shared. "Seeing our kids learn English and grow into good people through Mrs. Nok's help is a true blessing."

What started as a small gathering has blossomed into a bustling daily classroom. Parents across the village are filled with gratitude, watching their children thrive under Nok's guidance.

Right now, Nok’s house is packed with eager young minds every day, but her vision doesn't stop here. With a hopeful heart, Nok and her family continue to pray that even more children will find their way to her doorstep—not just to learn a new language, but to discover the love of God.

Nok Krobkhongwong is proof that even in our darkest seasons, we can still choose to be a light for others.

EEF Continues to Inspire Hope Through Education

The English Enhancement Potential Development for Internationalism Foundation (EEF) recently visited its students in Mindanao, Philippines: Bersaba Elementary School, Moriah Elementary School, and Balah Licosan Elementary School.

EEF was blessed to personally meet its scholars at Moriah Elementary School and witness their determination to pursue a better future through education. The Foundation also had the opportunity to meet the dedicated teachers of Bersaba Elementary School and thank them for their commitment to shaping young lives.

Due to the recent earthquake, EEF was unable to visit Balah Licosan Elementary School in Marilog during this trip but looks forward to connecting with the students and teachers soon.

At EEF, we believe that education changes lives. Every child given the opportunity to learn is given the chance to dream, grow, and succeed. We invite others to join us in investing in education and bringing hope to the next generation—because together, we can make a difference that lasts a lifetime.

With hearts full of compassion, CPIS Student Council in collaboration with EEF Foundation visited Lopburi School for the Blind last May 19, 2026, to share basic needs and food as requested. Besides the donations, the student representatives spent time talking, listening, and sharing joy with the blind students.

The school also serves as the home to around 100 students. Most of them focus on learning essential life skills due to severe visual impairment. Their courage, hope, and determination have truly inspired us all.

This outreach reminded us that kindness and love could bring light to others in the most meaningful ways.

Last May 8, 2026, E.E.F. conducted a community outreach visit to Young Ni Oo Development Center located in Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani. The Center serves as a tutorial venue to more than 80 children from ages 6 to 14. This visit focused on the Burmese children of the  city's backbone: janitors, construction workers, and manual laborers. To support both daily classroom activities and creative expression, the following supplies were provided: pencils, erasers, pens, notebooks, crayons, rulers, colored pencils, and reams of bond paper.

We also spent time chatting and engaging with the students, listening stories of their aspirations and the unique challenges they face navigating life in a foreign metropolis. The day concluded with smiles and renewed sense of readiness for the upcoming academic year.

Our recent visit to Lewahtoo's House, located along the Thai-Myanmar border, was a meaningful reminder of how small acts could bring great joy. This humble home cares for orphans and underprivileged children, offering them safety, guidance, and a sense of family despite the challenges they are facing.

We began the visit by distributing school supplies. The children received them with bright smiles, knowing these simple items would help them continue their education and dream for a better future. Food items and daily necessities were also shared to support the home's needs. These contributions seemed basic, but for Lewahtoo's House, they make a real difference in sustaining the children's everyday lives.

Beyond giving, the most special moments came from spending time together. We played games, laughed, and engaged in fun activities that filled the place with energy and happiness. For a while, worries were set aside, replaced by connection and joy.

As we left, the faces of the children waving emotional goodbye stayed with us. This experience has reminded us that kindness, if shared, becomes hope to those who need it most.

Our fundraising event last Thursday, April 2, 2026, was a wonderful success. Thank you to all donors, participants, and attendees for your generosity, time, and support.

Your contributions make a meaningful difference and help us continue our mission. We truly appreciate everyone who made this event possible!

On Dec. 28, 2025, we will be distributing English books to resilient young learners from a school recently affected by flooding in Hatyai, Thailand. These books will carry more than words - they will bring hope, encouragement, and a reminder that learning continues no matter the storm. Big thanks to the donors of these books. Together, we help our children rise, read, and dream again.
