education of the tsunami survivors.... After
The Wave is a Thailand based non-profit foundation (Registration
No. Nor. Bor. 172) established after the 2004 tsunami by students,
teachers and associates at the International
School Bangkok. ATW is run by a network of education professionals,
volunteers, alumni, and community leaders located in Bang
Sak, Thailand.
We work through the R35 school in Khao Lak to improve the
lives of children who continue to suffer years after the tsunami
hit.
“In the beginning a lot of visitors came.
But now, ISB is the only school that still comes down to visit”
Since we've been involved with the rebuilding of the
school from the ground up, we are well positioned to determine
the best way to support students, and to monitor how funds

- no longer are provided with their basic needs for school
- require scholarships for
further study
- have special needs requiring support, including medical
problems
