Khon Kaen University Student Takes Up Cleaning Jobs to Support Family
A third-year agriculture student at Khon Kaen University is working as a professional cleaner to support his younger sibling and ease his father's financial burden.
Jakkarin Phosri, a 21-year-old third-year agriculture student at Khon Kaen University, has gained public attention for his dedication to supporting his family. According to a report by Khaosod Online, Jakkarin, known as 'Tap,' has been advertising his services as a cleaner, specifically for bathrooms, to earn extra income. He initiated this effort by posting in a university social media group, offering cleaning services starting at 100 baht depending on the scope of the work. His motivation stems from a desire to help his father, who is raising his children as a single parent, and to ensure his younger sibling can continue their education. Recently, he was hired to clean facilities at a residential swimming pool in Khon Kaen. During his work, he adheres to hygiene protocols by wearing protective gear, including masks and goggles, while using specialized cleaning and disinfecting agents to ensure the safety of the facilities for users. This story highlights the resilience of students balancing academic responsibilities with financial hardships. While his initiative has been widely praised, it remains to be seen how this additional workload will impact his academic schedule or if he will receive further support from the community or university. For residents and visitors, this serves as a reminder of the local efforts made by students to overcome economic challenges.
