Fuen Fu

Thailand

In a rural corner of NE Thailand, Khun Orapin, a determined young lady, has overcome her own physical challenge to create craft work for others, who, because of disabilities, can find no other way to financially contribute to their families. After seeing the technique of using rolled pages of telephone books for crafts on TV, Orapin began creating picture frames and other items using the technique. The effect is literally a "rehabilitation" and that, in Thai, is what "Fuen Fu" really means.
