Vachirapa Chankajorn — Rong Rein Khong Noo, “My School” Television show, Thailand
Vachirapa Chankajorn’s brother was serving in the Thai army when he saw the poor state of schools in remote areas of rural Thailand. When he returned he wanted to do something about it so he recruited his family and television crews to help him make a documentary television program called “My School.” Each program takes viewers to a school that needs help and then volunteers come and renovate the school.
