PCF grantees going strong

Twenty five housewives in Kamala attended a training session from December 24 -28 organised by the Bangwan Pattana Occupation Group (BPOG), which was kick-started earlier in tyhe year by a B15,000 grant from the PCF.
The group aims to teach local housewives skills that they can practise at home in order to augment the family income.
At the training session the group improved their skills in Patek cloth painting. Ladda Khawijit, BPOG leader, said that the training course was supported by a B40,000 budget from the Phuket Labour Skill Development Office.
Teaching the ladies in Patek was Patarakorn Naoprai, herself a leader of another PCF grant recipient, the Ruam Idea Paint Group of Baan Bangkhontee, Rawai.
Training over the five days also included an accounting course provided by the Phuket Cooperative Auditing Office. Accountant and auditor Suda Ruangpongsrisuk taught the ladies the basics of managing their money and simple accounting procedures.

Our winner, thanks to the Gazette
Tom Fekete (right) with PCF Director Janyaporn Morel, his tickets and - of course - a couple of ducks.
Long-time Phuket resident Tom Fekete visited the Phuket Community Foundation offices recently to pick up the prize he won in the Phuket Gazette‘s online “Do You Know?” competition.
The competition featured a picture of the PCF’s 2009 Rubber Duck Race, with the question, “What is this?” Tom was the first to leap onto his keyboard and give the right answer.
As a result he received 10 tickets to back ducks in the 2011 Dream Gallery Great Phuket Rubber Duck Race, which takes place on January 23, 2011, at Laguna Phuket, as part of the PCF’s fabulous Race Day.
