In the past, we were looking at Bangkok-related tourism information, and we have its own prosperous tourism culture. Whether it is very large department stores, comfortable restaurants, along the MRT, super delicious snacks, etc., we have always liked to share it with everyone.Once I saw an introduction on the CNN website "Hanging on for better times in Bangkok's Klong Toey slum"It gave me a better understanding of this area of Bangkok. It turns out that behind the gorgeousness, there are people who need to be helped.
After checking the Internet, I found that "Klong Toey" is located in the south of Bangkok, at the junction of Ratchada Road and Rama 4 Road. If you take the subway in Bangkok, get off at Klong Toey Station or Queen Sirikit Convention Center Station. Arrived in this area.And Klong Toey is a slum area in Bangkok. There are about 10 people in this area, mainly from farmers in northern Thailand. They hope to come to Bangkok to improve their lives and the lives of their families, but they don’t have legal residency rights and there are many houses. For illegal construction, there is no complete water and electricity supply.
However, the women in the Klong Toey community still hope to have good job opportunities to support their families. Because they do not have a good education background, they have difficulties in job hunting. They even have young children to take care of, so they "work from home". The way is to better solve the problems of these people.
Annika Jonasson, who borrowed from Sweden, has worked in helping Bangkok slums for more than nine years. Therefore, based on the situation of the Klong Toey community mentioned above, she came up with the idea of renovating this hanger, hoping to use this work method to help those who are in urgent need of income. Women solve difficult problems.The interesting thing is that this kind of creativity comes from one day when she looks at the clothes and hangers, every time the clothes will slide out of the hangers, they can’t be fixed on them. The whole is very angry, but if you wrap the fabric on the hangers, it will be beautiful. Isn’t it great to let the clothes hang properly?At first, Annika and the others made the first version of the hangers, but they found that they were not very good-looking. It could be said that they were "don't make the feet." They cut a lot of fabrics and sent them to the Klong Toey community. Their craftsmanship is both good and exquisite. The beauty also allows her to start using it to help the community earn money.
After understanding the background, I was thinking, "If we travel to Bangkok, we can also buy this hanger to help improve their lives." At present, through the introduction, I learned that a set of three hangers is priced at 450 baht. Order through email exchanges. However, I asked on Facebook how to buy their products when traveling to Bangkok, and told me that I can contact them by phone. Finally, the relevant information is organized as follows. If you have the ability, I also welcome you to help people in the Klong Toey community. ^^
