On March 2, 2017, the Headmaster of the British International School Phuket, Neil Richards, presented a cheque for 49,099 Baht to Sarawut Meejan Mattayon 4, a Year 11 student of Phaboromarachupathum 36th School (formally Ban Kamala School).
This was the culmination of a project called ‘Our Hearts Knit as One’ in commemoration of His Majesty the King Bhumibol Adulyadej, Father of the Nation. Under this project, all staff members of BISP contributed to a fund to support Phaboromarachupathum 36th School in Phuket which was placed under royal patronage following the devastating impact of the tsunami.
