Dear Dr. Peter A. Levine:

This mail is meant to acknowledge my greatest gratitude towards the Foundation for Human Enrichment. The team flew all the way half the world to help and relief the traumatic pain of my Thai people who have gone through or suffered from the unexpected Tsunami. It is obviously by far and foremost the best charitable assistance that men could do to their friends in need. Seeing a team of 9 members working devotedly and tirelessly was such a memorable scene I could never forget.

Even more, from day one to the final day, the work that this valuable group had produced was extremely successful. Just in an hour or two, I could clearly see the people transform into a better condition. A woman who lost her husband can put on a smile in her face again. The kids can run, play and release the trauma that stuck in their bodies through the activities that this group had created. It was a heart-felt and immense experience to us all.

With the team's precious achievement here and my determination to continue the progress, I think that there should be an extent branch of the Foundation for Human Enrichment established in Thailand. Also, when the second team arrives, I would suggest that they could conduct a two-week workshop for those Red Cross workshop's participants who are interested in Somatic Experiencing. I believe that the sooner we can establish the branch and pass on the SE knowledge, the wider we can spread our concern on humanity.

I'm looking forward to host the second team shortly. I can't wait to see the blinks in the eyes of the Thai people when the team does their follow-ups.

Lastly, thank you for your huge and unforgettable effort. On behalf of my fellow Thais, we truly and deeply appreciated.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Wanlop Piyamanotham, Ph.D.
