Year 13 Students Honoured with Nationally Recognised Award

Rough terrain and logistical nightmares are no match for Shrewsbury sisters who have helped many people access necessary medical supplies through her charity – ‘The Jungle Box Project’
Doaia (Derya) and Keodeo (Deva) Lokitiyakul have been ardent trekkers in Thailand’s Northern provinces for as long as they can remember. Their parents instilled this love of the outdoors in all their children, taking entire summers to traverse some of the most challenging terrain in the country. On one such trip, their older brother fell seriously ill, miles from the nearest town. Luckily he was able to regain his health enough to make it to safety, but it was a near-death experience. However, Derya and Deva realised how life-threatening it must be for the local villagers, many of whom lack the necessary medicine, to get the help they need. This was when the idea for ‘The Jungle Box’ came to mind. An idea that has won a nationally recognised award and given them an audience to promote it extensively.

Each box contains a selection of over the counter medication and useful tools to take care of minor ailments. Alongside this, they also set up water filtration systems for each village and organise training sessions for health representatives. Derya says the desire to help others is deeply ingrained in her family, and it is something she feels is as important as academics and exam results.

“I believe we grew up as a problem solvers. We saw an issue that affected people and had an idea. After my siblings and I designed something we believed would work, we crowdfunded to access the necessary funds and began the process of distribution.

Derya and Deva named the charity ‘The Jungle Box Project’ and began the arduous process of accessing difficult to reach villages - most of which lie north of Chiang Mai, on the Thai-Myanmar border. Many of these locations are almost impossible to reach in the rainy season. So Derya, Deva, their family and friends made the trip when the weather is best; intending to get medicine to those in need as quickly as possible. As it stands, 56 villages and over 28,000 locals have graciously accepted ‘Jungle Boxes’.

“Perhaps one of the best moments we have had throughout this journey was a local doctor telling me that our supplies were making his job more manageable. Now that certain villages had a Jungle Box, he didn’t have to carry equipment long distances to reach communities not easily accessed by roads. That was awesome! If a doctor can do their job easier, then people are getting the care they need”.
