Well here’s an inspiring story. Yes, it’s a sponsored story but, hey, someone’s got to pay the bill. It’s the story of a group of boys who lived on the island of Koh Panyee in Thailand and, in 1986, decided to start a football team. Sounds easy enough until you realize the island of Koh Panyee consists of a tiny mountain with the rest of the village built on floating docks. In other words, no place to play football.
Undeterred, the boys built their own football pitch (field) and learned how to play in bare feet on rickety planks held together with bent nails. Turns out they became quite good at the game and went on to win many Southern Thailand Youth Championships over the years.
Working with Leo Burnett & Arc Worldwide, TMB Bank sponsored the film, called Make THE Difference. And that’s what it’s all about. Set your mind to something, do what it takes to get there and you will achieve.
