Welcome to a new year — a year in which we can consolidate our existing projects and, with an expanded membership, explore new ways to improve the health, safety, and education of children in Northern Thailand. The past couple of months have been particularly busy. Rotary District 3350 submitted our Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH) project to the Genting Regional Conference for consideration, and two members travelled to Malaysia to represent the club. While the project was not selected for an award on this occasion, it was encouraging to see our work recognised at a regional level.
