Mahachulalongkornrajavidyala University (MCU) known as Mahachula is located in Wanoi, Ayutthaya where the flood hits badly for long days.
After nearly one month with the flood, MCU is becoming better now. Most of floodwaters have receded or gone without saying ‘Good By’ which we want to hear all the time because we never welcomed it at all.
Even though the floodwater has gone, it is still killing us unfriendly by leaving rubbish, dirt, mud, bad smell water etc. To clean up all these things is very important so that unnecessary serious consequences such as diseases and illness from unclean and dirt water and mosquitoes will be prevented before it affects residents.
Aware of this case, 26-11-11 becomes a ‘Big Cleaning Day’ at MCU organized by MUC and another two foundations. At the day of early morning they come by buses and there are about 400 hundred volunteers who are going to take part in this event at MCU. Most of them are young boys and girls including university students, teacher and social workers as well as Buddhist monks.
The opening ceremony is held in front of large poster with ‘Big Cleaning Day’ written on it, at middle of classroom buildings compound. The rector of MCU and two representatives from their foundations give speeches and then they all start cleaning, brushing, dusting, scrubbing, sweeping, washing and wiping etc. They all are very active like a busy bee family.
This is really amazing how they all are doing activities together with joy under the bright and hot sunshine. This will be one of great pictures to be imprinted on my mind forever.
Big Cleaning Day from morning to evening for one day ends happily with interviews, taking photos, singing songs, expressing feelings and clapping.
It can take many days to make full recovery of damaged materials and to become normal atmospheric conditions. Also there are still many things left to do and to be cleaned up.
