On napa Kaew samruedoo, known as Ning, is a 16 years old study in Secondary 4 at Sansai Wittayakom School. Ning and her sibling have been involved with the House of Hope Sansai program since Primary 1. With their parents working late in construction, the program provided a safe and supportive environment for the children, teach through hands-on activities and learning by doing, including homework and other engaging exercises , along with nutritious food. Ning’s younger sister also joined House of Hope.

Ning’s journey in sports began when she joined a rugby program recommended by Khun Karolin from #KidsFuture. She began playing with #LannaRugbyClub ( LRC ) every Saturday. Her dedication caught the attention of the Thai Rugby Union, leading to an invitation to train with the national team in Bangkok.

Currently, Ning is training with the national team from September 5th to 19th. We are incredibly proud of her achievements and grateful to everyone who has supported us along the way—Lanna Rugby Club, all the coaches, Kids Future, The Thai Rugby Union, and Kids Ark USA. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement.

This is a significant milestone for Ning, as she will gain invaluable experience. Thank you to everyone who has made this opportunity possible. Her journey will also serve as an inspiration for younger players on the team to stay motivated and continue pursuing rugby.
