May 9-19, 2012. US Rotarians and other volunteers will join Rotarians from Denmark, Japan, Canada, Australia, Brazil and Thailand for an eye, dental and pediatric medical mission in areas of Thailand devastated by flooding in 2011-2012. We will be working in the flooded cities in the Lopburi provence and the northeast city of Nakhorn Phanom. This is a Rotary Foundation grant project.

The Year 2555
The year in Thailand is 2555, not 2012. While our Gregorian calendar counts the years Anno Domini (AD) or after Christ, the Buddhist calendar in Thailand is dated from the death of Buddha and essentially is our year plus 543.
