THE NEW WATER purification system installed at the Baan Rang school is shown here. The system is funded and operational thanks to a partnership between Ponca City Rotary Club and Rotary District 3330 in Thailand.

STUDENTS ATTENDING the Baan Rang school near Bangkok, Thailand, did not have access to drinking water on campus. Each had to bring a bottle of water from home and make it last through the day despite average daytime high temperature of 92 degrees F.
