Proud of her work!
Meet Roon! She lives in Chiang Rai and loves that she is a part of We Are In Bloom! She has one son and one daughter, but is widowed. She really enjoys sewing and making items with her hands. Roon makes hats for another company, but is only paid 5 baht, or 14 cents, per hat making about $100 a month. She is so thankful for projects from We Are In Bloom where she gets paid an honest amount and is supported through strong relationships. If she did not sew, she would have to work in the rice field for very little money. Roon is saving as much as possible so that she can retire comfortably since she is on her own.
Nueng and Roon met each other when they lived in the same neighborhood and became friends. Some of her favorite things to do are making crafts and arranging flowers, just like Nueng. Nueng has enjoyed getting to know Roon and says that she is very talented and determined. She never gives up. Roon is a strong woman and we can't wait to see what she can do with We Are In Bloom!
