Welcome to a new kind of charity. Surin restaurant (founded by Mrs Damrong Garbutt) is one of the world’s top Thai restaurants. She has created the Surin Village School Charity. Our mission is to build village schools in the poorest regions of the 80 poorest UNDP nations – the nations below Thailand. The schools once built are then linked to Kent schools via the internet for ongoing community support, curriculum activity and cultural exchange and learning – for both parties!The first 3 schools to be built will be in Thailand (Damrong’s home village near Cambodia), Mali in sub-Saharan Africa with the support of the Timbuktu Cultural Foundation in California, and Bolivia.
