Wake Up TriCounty Maribeth Grafelman And Maesuk School Thailand

While working as a teacher in Florida, Maribeth Grafelman met a teacher's assistant named Suree. The two became friends and when Maribeth learned that her friend was traveling back and forth to Thailand to help a school there, she wanted to pitch in. Now retired and living in Kewanee, Maribeth and Suree continue to work together to support the Maesuk School. That support created a GoFundMe campaign to raise money for supplies, construction and chickens that the kids themselves tend to at the school. It's an act of generosity and a teachable moment about charity from a former teacher. Because of that, and the good deed it entails, WKEI wanted to throw a little spotlight on Maribeth and the Maesuk School and see if we can help their fundraising effort.
