Jaturaporn ‘Frame’ Paengsri

In the busy stream of our own self-centered days, it is easy to forget that there are some people who manage to think of others and sacrifice. There are some people that seem to have a natural instinct to care, and a little bit more energy in the day to give to others. Sometimes there are entire families like this. Jaturaporn was born with a cleft, but he was born to such a family. His grandparents are farmers, his father has traveled to a different province to make money for the family, and his mother spends the hours when he is sleeping to sew items she can sell at the local market in addition to caring for his sister. They all work very hard for very little in the hope that Jaturaporn will one day be able to help others as a government officer or a soldier in the military. Even after Jaturaporn was helped by Operation Smile, his Grandfather’s first reaction was not to rest a little easier, but to take the time to write a letter thanking the mission for making his Grandson handsome and to express his happiness. With a family like this, Jaturaporn is sure to make the most of his new opportunities.
