Dear Carol Foo,
My name is Woranut Jumnong. I feel so grateful that you have helped me until I graduate. I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering at Chiang Mai Rajabhat University. Currently I’m working as a construction foreman in Diya Valley Village at Sarapee, Chiang Mai. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be successful today. I promise to be a good, honest person for the community. If I have an opportunity, I will give to others, in a similar way, to that you have given to me.
Lastly, may god bless you. I hope you are there to help others who need an opportunity like me.
With respect,
Woranut Jumnong
