Do Your Part for Ban Kru Noi's Needy Kids In 1980, Kru Nuannoi Timkul or “Kru Noi” began helping the poor, handicapped and abandoned children even though she herself was affected by a stroke and was not rich. Since then, she has helped about 800 children, bringing them into her own home to feed and care for them. Today, through the help of the Department of Public Welfare and volunteers from various institutions, the children are taught career-oriented activities like handicrafts, drawing and art.
