The tragedy shocked readers who wanted to help the people of the province. They sent donations to the Bangkok Post that amounted to 800,000 baht, and the foundation decided to commit the money to rebuilding Ban Sapli school.
Readers’ donations, augmented by those of the staff and management, were used to build and equip eight classrooms for pupils from kindergarten to elementary levels. The foundation subsequently built an auditorium, first aid room and a pre-kindergarten room and has continuously provided scholarships to needy students attending the new school, whose name was changed to Ban Sapli (Bangkok Post Suksa) school.
