The Story

2 months ago

In January 2024, Grant ‘Axe’ Rawlinson will get in the water and swim around Phuket. It's an estimated 130km to swim around Phuket and the goal is to keep swimming until we raise over $1M baht for the Good Shepherd School Phuket Town. He is supported by a great team of people as follows:-

Michelle Kang - Project Manager

Sukhjit 'Suj' Kang - The 'Fixer' and Safety Support Kayaker

Luke Richmond - Safety Support Kayaker and Nutrition Manager

Steve Johnson - Shore Support Manager

Baffelly Woo - Good Shepherd School Liaison

Andrea Edwards - Communications Manager

Heidi Oxley Whitnell - Education Outreach Manager

Jason Whitnell - Emergency Response and Safety Manager / Boat Skipper

Stephanie Ong Rawlinson - Logistics Manager

Rachel Rawlinson - Project Assistant

Kate Rawlinson - Project Assistant

Since 2013, the Good Shepherd Phuket Town School has been a beacon of hope for a growing number of students, providing access to quality education. In 2023 they have a record enrolment of 400 students but not enough classrooms to accommodate everyone. Our exisiting classrooms are already overcrowded, hot, and lacking sufficient oxygen, the building is in urgent need of renovations to ensure a safe and conducive learning environment for our students. By extending our existing classrooms, we can accommodate a growing number of students and create this conducive learning environment.

1.245 million THB will fund this project which is forecasted to take 3 months to complete and provide ample space for children to learn, collaborate, and excel. Your support will invest in the future of these vulnerable children and will enable us to create an environment where they can learn, grow, and realize their potential. Together, we can build a brighter future, one brick at a time.
