Chai Hansanuwat got laid off from his software job so he started building shelves for sale. It occurred to him that there were lots of kids learning from home without proper desks and he had extra wood so he put out a call to anyone whose kids needed desks using #donationdesks on his IG page . Not only did he receive lots of request but some 25 local carpenters/builders joined in and together they’ve donated over 400 desks.
He’s also had people donate supplies. Chai tells Good News Movement that he’s received so many grateful responses including “one kid who gave me a home depot gift card, then reached into his pocket and gave me all the change he had and said thank you.”
