We collaborated with German cosmetic brand @HelloBody. HelloBody provides funding for film and video productions. Their content team flew into Bangkok and shot a series of mini documentaries on the foundation and some of our amazing students. The tie up also linked us up with the #HelloBody online community and brought us many new and wonderful friends who are #realwomen with #realsupport as they share our mission of #empowering underprivileged women.

I was one of five children. My mother worked very, very hard to feed us all. She used to boil beans and sweet potato every day for local ceremonies but it was not always enough. I hated how hard she had to work. So when I was 15 years old, I quit school to help her. I am the oldest and it is my responsibility to look after the family too.
