Ann
Ann is one of the youngest members who studies in computer and technology field. Even though she is still a student, she wants to financially support her parents. Her routine is to go to school on weekdays, and to work on weekends. She is more than happy to work with people she is familiar with and willing to teach her.
“Because all the artisans are from the same village, I can trust them with all my heart. I have known them all my life. After working together, we become even closer. Now I can say that we work as a family. We don’t try to take advantage of anyone. Instead, we keep improving our products and skill. I receive my payment everyday, so I don’t have to wait until the end of the month. I can afford things at school by myself.”
She also feels blessed not having to go to the city to work, because that means she has to spend her money on commuting. She saves every baht (Thai currency) for her family and her future.
