I’ve made over 1,900 piano performance and tutorial videos for my YouTube channel in my home studio in Thailand since 2008. These include piano performances, piano tutorials, art, and wildlife. I try to help local communities in need.

Krahan is a friend of mine who suffered loss of job due to COVID. Krahan is Karen. Because I built Krahan a house during COVID, the word got around the Karen community and now others hope I will help them, too.

If I help this community with our own savings, I would begin by finding ways to improve the homes that are in bad repair with new bamboo. I'd like to give a solar panels for each house with lights. Little things, like sets of guitar strings (they have a pile of guitars all with broken strings), clothes of all sizes, and plentiful stocks of dried food, rice and drinking water.

Other things like leisure supplies of paints, canvas and paper as I discovered there are some that would love to try their hand at painting pictures. These pictures theoretically could be rolled up and shipped to donors. The Karen men are strong and have a will to work but they are forbidden. But they could do activities at home to earn money to support themselves.

Unfortunately, our AdSense revenue from YouTube has declined significantly month by month since COVID began. It plummeted to a fraction of what it was pre-COVID, and hasn't recovered even though COVID is more or less over, even though I've been working as hard as ever.

Therefore, your support is more than ever needed.

Thank you for your time reading this pledge.
