On 26th November 2017, 41 volunteers, including 25 SSIO members, travelled to BaanGerda, a small community 230 km north of Bangkok that provides care and support for 48 orphaned children diagnosed with HIV/AIDS. The volunteers distributed gift packets containing cookies, chocolate, milk, a notebook, a drawing book, pencils, crayons, soap, shampoo, toothpaste, and toothbrushes to the children. Young adults from the Sathya Sai School entertained the children with games and other group activities, inspiring immense joy in everyone.
