We had the pleasure to film an interview at the offices of Smart Partners with Jennifer Shinkai, who is a Diversity & Inclusion, Facilitator and Coach who was interviewing Frances Watthanaya, Founder & Executive Director of Wor. Watthana Muay Thai Gym and Scott Hirano, a world class Combat Sports Photographer to learn about their relationship and the work Frances has done which has impacted a small, local community in northern Thailand.
Frances’ love for the sport of Muay Thai led her to Thailand and ultimately led her to her life’s passion of helping the local children in this small, rural town in Thailand become more confident and disciplined through Muay Thai and her gym. But more than that, Frances and her husband have become Saints to lead the community in a new direction and give hope and support to local kids who are struggling in a very tough environment. She empowers them to become more confident, more disciplined and most importantly, believe in themselves to achieve their goals, all through the support of Muay Thai, her coaching and the safe environment her gym provides.
The purpose of the interview was to highlight the work she has done and to seek support for raising money to build a new gym to continue to support these kids and their dreams.
Regardless of your interest in Muay Thai, Thailand or martial arts, this interview is a just a great experience to learn how anyone can help change the lives of others in very small ways. Frances has helped people in a very big way so all I ask is that you please watch this interview in its entirety and consider helping her cause. Thanks for your support.
