Story form the Cover

Run Like The WindOn August 7, 1932, an African boy named Abebe Bikila came into this world on the plateau of Ethiopia. He grew up running barefooted on the plains helping his father heard their sheep. Poverty drove Abebe Bikila to enlist in the military where his athletic skills brilliantly shone for the military track and fields. In the 16th Olympic Games held in Rome, Italy, Bikila was called in to fulfill his duty as one of the members of the national team and hastily flown to Rome.

Before racing in the 42.195 kilometer marathon, Bikila couldnt find tracking shoes that fit so he decided to compete barefooted. At the starting point, he was an unknown black runner standing among well known European medal winners. The first 10 kilometers, he was running along side the pack. The last 20 kilometers, he was running shoulder to shoulder with the Moroccan runner. The last kilometer before reaching the finish line, Bikila increased his stride and overtook his competitor with the time of 2 hours15 minutes and 16.25 seconds breaking the Olympics record by 8 seconds. He was the first black African runner to receive a gold Olympic medal. The steady rhythmic sound of Bikilas bare feet hitting the ground echoed in the minds of the audience that faithful day.

Flora KitchenFlowers are so versatile. We use them for medicinal purposes and we can even use them to moisturize our skin. We use the colors that were extracted to dye fabric and paint pictures. Were constantly surrounded by flowers for all occasions. Flowers brighten up our days in weddings, birthdays and various celebrations throughout the year. Even in morning, we are consoled by flowers to share the sudden grief. The use of flowers is inseparable from the typical Thai household. Flowers are essential for religious and ceremonial worshiping. They are used to brighten up any households, welcome friends and family members as well as impress visiting guests from near and far. Flowers have long played important roles in Thai society since the early days. Their amazing values lie not only in the aromatic fragrance and brilliance of colors that we admire so much, they have nutritious values too.

The Thai open minded quality supported by Buddhist virtue has surpassed that of many countries in the world. Lets get a deeper insight into the close relationship between religion and daily living of the Thai people.

Thai Paper Craft Humans discovered how to utilize paper as a recording tool since the early times around 3,000 BC. The ancient Egyptians used Papyrus plant to make paper and wisely used it to record prayers and vows. The Chinese and Japanese used similar techniques to create their own paper and spread its usage worldwide. This versatile quality of paper usage also spread to Thailand where Siamese Rough Bush (Toothbrush Tree) and palm leaf have been used to record important events in history as well as spread Buddhist teachings. However, the true value of paper is not limited to just an entry in the dictionary, but its practicality and creativity can be transformed into something intriguingly beautiful.

With the quality of being lightweight and thin, Paper originated from the simple natural source of tree fibers, hay, grass and rags. It comes complete with its versatile use for writing, printing, wrapping and various purposes that makes it indispensible in human cycle of life.

Dr. Krisana is the person behind the success of producing medication that fights against Aids like AZT (Zidovudine) and GPO-Vir. From the sympathy for women and children who have suffered from Aids through their mothers who have in turn been infected by their husband, Dr. Krisana went against all odds to accomplish the impossible. She had to fight all obstacles including raw material development and strong oppositions from pharmaceutical companies. Then, lady luck lent a hand as Dr. Krisana received help from various global organizations enabling her to successfully produce anti-Aids medication in the year 1995. With continuous development and an opportunity to share the production knowledge with third world patients in Africa where there are excessive amount of infected Aids patients, she marched on continuing to distribute medication to local people even though she encountered strong oppositions. Since she never backed down, she received the name Gypsy Pharmacist.

Through out the 30 years of total dedication to society, Dr. Krisna re-ceived an award of Person of the Year in Asia in 2008 from Readers Digest in the category of total dedication in pushing for equal opportunity for finan-cially deprived patients to be able to receive this latest Aids medication. She also received a Magsaysay award in the category of public service in 2009. Every life is worth saving. The noble act of sharing is like giving new life to the community.
