Margie has previously spoke to the Club about the good works of her Foundation in the Pattaya community. She will be updating us on the impact the Covid 19 has had on her Foundation’s activities. Covid 19 has caused problems for individuals, families, businesses and countries all over the world. The poor were severely affected by the close of tourism in Pattaya city as they had no financial savings or resources to fall back on. Middle class earning families suddenly found themselves homeless without the skills and knowledge of how to live on the streets. She will tell us how Covid 19 pandemic has impacted the Foundation's activities in both negative and positive ways. Originally an elementary school teacher from Brisbane Australia, Margie came to Pattaya some 22 years ago to teach at the International School Eastern Seaboard (ISE). In 2009 she started the Hand to Hand organization which became a Foundation in 2010. After teaching at ISE for 13 years, she quit to work full time for the Foundation. During her 2 year forced stay in Australia due to the pandemic, Margie continued to run the Foundation from her parent’s home. Click here for a summary of Margie’s previous talk in 2017 about what caused her to form the Hand to Hand Foundation and how they work to help those in need in the Pattaya community.
