Giving Back Association is a not-for-profit organization, registered as NGO number 5374/2557 on December 22, 2014 in Thailand, with the purpose of supporting charities in Thailand and the Region.

GBA helps individual and corporate donors to find information on charities and foundations in the Greater Mekong region that most fit their philanthropic goals as well as information on their governance, financial efficiency and transparency.

Yesterday we paid the first scholarships for the first semester of the new school year 2017/2018.

It is always a pleasure to meet with our students and their families. Bright young individuals who all have a dream. And in each of those dreams helping their families and communities comes back time and time again.

I hope the little help they get from Fund Isaan and our sponsors will help them achieve their dream.  Thank you to our sponsors and all the best to our students, we will be there for you!

Bae, also known as Sirinna Manyuen, was born and raised in the Isaan region. Bae has three sisters. Bae has a lovely 1.5 year old daughter, Miliew

During her secondary studies at Chomphraprachason School Bae discovered her love for English and ... the school library; English was her favorite subject and the library her favorite place to be. After secondary school Bae went to Khon Kaen University, her major was Library and Information Science and her minor was English. She graduated with a high score of 3.12/4 in 1999.

Thanks to the relentless support of our sponsors we will be able to grant 50 additional scholarships. This means 50 students that will have the possibility to continue their studies. This will have a major impact on their lives, that of their families and communities. We can not thank our sponsors enough.

Thanks to the Internet we are all connected, even when we are volunteering on the other side of the world. Felix started his volunteering adventure in Thailand since the beginning of January.
