Australian Embassy helps Sister Joan with her milk run project

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Australian Embassy helps Sister Joan with her milk run project

The Australian Embassy Bangkok recently provided funding for Sister Joan’s milk run project.

Sister Joan, a religious Sister from the Western Australian Congregation of Presentation Sisters, has been working in Bangkok’s Klong Toey slum area since 1991. Her tireless efforts focus on helping community members with their basic needs through the provision of food, education and healthcare.

The funding of 180 000 Thai baht, made available through the Australian Embassy Direct Aid Program (DAP), helped Sister Joan to supply milk formula for over 167 babies and 14 elderly residents through her fortnightly milk run project.

In a recent visit to the Klong Toey slum community, Ms Bronte Moules, Deputy Head of Mission at the Australian Embassy, said the Embassy was delighted to support the milk run project. Ms Moules said she hoped the supply of nutritious food would help the children to grow up healthy and strong.

In the past the Australian Embassy has also provided funding to Sister Joan for her Education Project. This project helps to supply children with school uniforms, bags and books to assist them with receiving an education.

The Australian Embassy Direct Aid Program (DAP) is a flexible, small grants program funded by the Australian Government through AusAID and managed by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. The goal of DAP is to advance developmental objectives and address humanitarian hardship in developing countries.
