About the charity

Baan Romjit is a small charity set up by Noi and Arlene Ramasut in the wake of the Tsunami . The aim of the project is to help children troubled by natural disasters and displacement. The first project undertaken by the charity was to support children in the Khao Luk area of southern Thailand most devastated by the tsunami. Baan Romjit provided funds for Ajarn ( Professor) Beow and her team of volunteers to seek out children in the more remote villages who had been traumatised by the loss of parents, close family and their homes Through regular visits ,small group counselling and therapeutic games, the children were gradually enabled to come to terms with what had happened and begin to look to the future. Baan Romjit provided small playgrounds for each of the four rural schools and also assisted in improving the toilet and washing facilities. Baan Romjit is now committed to helping displaced children from Burma in the Mae Sot area on the Thai- Burma border. Baan Romjit has provided funds for one small migrant school to repair the thatched roof before the rainy season and is now supporting the building of a brand new school to replace the old buildings.
