In recognition of her selfless contribution to the care of the frail and infirm, Khun Boonma has been honoured with Thailand’s “Outstanding Elderly Care-Giver Award” for 2568 (2025) by the Department of Health of the Ministry of Public Health, after receiving similar awards for Klong Toey district and then Bangkok. The Duang Prateep Foundation warmly congratulates Khun Boonma on receiving this prestigious award, and is honoured to have such a warm-hearted, caring and diligent lady on our staff.In addition to working in our Sponsorship Section helping poor and underprivileged children receive scholarships to continue their education, Ms. Boonma Roddee also devotes time every day to personally taking meals to the homes of elderly, bed-ridden people in the Klong Toey slum community. She also monitors their health by doing blood pressure checks, cleans their wounds daily, delivers medications and takes them for medical treatment when they have no-one else to care for them. She performs this vital service as a Klong Toey Community Health Volunteer, a role she has served in for the past nine years.
